Canadian at Exeter or Andover

Prep School Admissions Prep School Chances

<p>I'm a football player from Canada (Ontario) and I'm looking to eventually receive an NCAA D1 scholarship but it is EXTREMELY hard to do so attending a Canadian public school. I am also looking for a higher quality education that is more challenging than public school as most classes are easy and boring for me. I believe I've narrowed my choices down to Exeter and Andover but I'm still open to suggestions based on my needs (we can't afford private school tuition, so a nearly full scholarship/financial aid is necessary) I'm just wondering what my chances of first, being accepted to Exeter or Andover are and second, getting playing time on the football team and how talented the rest of players will be. Also, what school would be the better option?</p>

<p>Information about me:
-I'm starting Grade 10 this fall in Ontario
-Last year I finished with a 92% average including 95%'s in Science and English (not sure how this converts to American marking system)
-Valedictorian for Elementary school (K-8, no middle school) graduation
-English, Geography and Leadership awards for grade 8 year
-Will likely win English and Science awards for grade 9 year
-Attended an Enrichment program (advanced classes for gifted students) all through elementary school
-Received honours every school year since grade 5
-Member of Student's Council in Grade 8 (Gr. 8 Rep), 9 (Gr. 9 Rep) and again this year (Sports Rep)
-Started on the Varsity AND Junior football teams at my school as a freshman (our junior team plays in the spring allowing us to play both)
-Played 3 years of rep football (outside of school, sort of like city all stars)
-Lineman of the year last year for rep football team
-Participated and won Lineman of the Game award in an Ontario All Star game
-Played 8 years of rep hockey
-Played various other sports at school such as soccer, volleyball, ultimate frisbee
-3 time hockey team captain
-2 time rep football captain
-Captain of high school junior team</p>

<p>Another thing, I've never written any SAT or ACT or any other tests. Do I need to write them to get in? </p>

<p>Thanks for the help guys.</p>

<p>Hey football67! I graduated from Exeter this year. I’m not too familiar with football but at Exeter, it definitely has a huge presence. You probably know about our annual E/a games. Exeter football has been very strong this year; we’ve had a 5-year consecutive win over Andover and look forward to many more. </p>

<p>You sound like a very qualified applicant. have you emailed the Exeter football coach yet?</p>

<p>Our team is great; we recruit a lot of athletes who are top in the nation. The country’s best high school quarterback actually was recruited to Exeter and then went on to Dartmouth on a scholarship. Others have gone to Harvard, Williams, etc.</p>
