I don’t think you guys understand the question
No, we understand it perfectly. And it was answered in post 1: Get a high SSAT score.
And after you get a high SSAT score, know that there is an 85% chance you will get rejected. Nobody knows what Exeter is specifically looking for next year, but know that all successful applicants will be “extremely driven and ambitious” and “do very well in school.” What you have not answered is why you would be an ideal candidate for Exeter.
The other users are also telling you that if your goal is PEA, then fine just apply to PEA if you have a local back-up. If you’re goal, however, is a top prep school, then you need to widen your search. Because, one again, the odds are 85% that you will be rejected by Exeter.
