<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Let me know if there are other schools I should consider.

<p>I think you really need to bring up your average and other ec’s. As an ‘insider’ at Exeter, I can say that you probably won’t be able to play #5 or #6 that easily. I can’t really measure how good you are, but I’m pretty sure that is the case. I suggest that you try Deerfield, since the school loves athletes.</p>

<p>Taft or Westy would be solid choices to apply to. Amazing squash programs.</p>

<p>I’ve looked at Taft, could probably get in because of solid connections. I just don’t think it would be a good fit because their programs are a little too amazing and maybe a little beyond my level.</p>
