Good luck to all of you who (or whose kids) are making decisions today! I hope you are all happy and excited with your decisions
Schools have many layers of advisors including deans, academic advisors and house parents. Ultimately they want to see you succeed @lusitari. At Exeter, they are going to help you find the right balance between manageable and challenge. No one wants to see you get in over your head let alone drown.
That’s very true, and good to think about.
I’m just wondering why so many students are stressed and sleep deprived then. :))
Ahh, it’s prep school with a bunch of teens…who am I kidding. @preppedparent
^^haha @lusitari A lot of kids put added stress on themselves, but yes get a lot of smart kids together and there will be competition. Hopefully most top BSs and colleges now are taking the MIT approach of putting together a class of kids who are climbing a mountain metaphor.
At my daughter’s Choate 2016 Baccalaureate, the speaker said, “At times you will be lifting kids up behind you and at other times you are being lifted up by those ahead of you.” We need this kind of talk at Convocation, also not just Baccalaureate.
Your education will be what you make it, cooperative or competitive, but in the end there are lots of helpers to help you modulate your stress while attempting to achieve the goals you set for yourself, wherever you go. Exeter doesn’t have the monopoly on stress.
@preppedparent what wise words. I think all future prep school kids would benefit from hearing them
I am grateful to say that I will be a part of Exeter Class of 2021.

So, after much deliberation and consultation with the wonderful and helpful CC community…
I have decided that I will be joining the **Phillips Exeter Class of 2020! ** <:-P
- For the community. 2. For the opportunities. 3. @buuzn03 For the FOOD. :)) <- I kid, I kid…But it’s good.
Thank you so much for all the support you’ve given me over the last few months, and good luck to everyone else deciding, applying or anxiously waiting to get off a waitlist.
Woohooo!!! SO happy for you! And of course, you absolutely have to factor in the food!!!
Super news @lusitari! Enjoy your weekend with that behind you
Wow, congratulations!!! @lusitari
