<p>Shushuga, I see many students here like you. There are plenty of high level math and science classes here. Most of the high level classes will have some weaker students (I’m one of those), but you should find them challenging as well. In terms of math, you should be a little bit careful. Exeter tends to place new students into math classes that at a lower level than what they can handle because they have to “fill the gaps” of the students’ previous math classes and teach them how to do math “the Exeter way”. If you do choose to go to Exeter, you should push to be in a higher math class because you can probably handle it.</p>
<p>thanks!! I read about that, and either way Im not concerned since math team is very comprehenisve and my current school is uncacommodating so in worst scenario I won’t go down, and thank you!!!</p>
<p>Does anyone know about water polo program in Exeter?
I am a serious water polo player and considering applying next year to Exeter, Andover, and Deerfield.
Do they recruit water polo players?
I will appreciate any comments on coach, players, college matriculation, …</p>
<p>^Check the website. I heard the program was good, but I could be mistaken.</p>
<p>Exeter’s boys’ water polo program has had strong winning records the last 4-5 years.
However, I have no idea whether they recruit. Give the coach a call and get more info!</p>
<p>This is really random, but how do you make the green smiley face? :)</p>
<p>sorry, but it’s from secret rites known only to exeter initiation survivors. 
:D</p>
<p>Exeter does recruit in many of their sports depending on year so water polo isn’t out of the question. Both boys and girls water polo is good here</p>
<p>Isn’t a little absurd that an academic BS will recruit solely on physical talent? and for smilies, make a : D and it comes up automatically,</p>
<p>They don’t recruit solely for athletic talent. It doesn’t matter how good you are if you will just fail out. Remember, there is no “slow track” at Exeter, or any other top school, for “dumb jocks.” Even the most basic classes are difficult.</p>
<p>(BTW, I am NOT a parent of a recruited athlete.)</p>
<p>Yes, of course even the best athletes here are smart. But PG’s can get away with somewhat “easy” classes because of their limited requirements. All PG math classes aren’t the brightest. They are put with other PG’s into senior english classes. Then the rest is up to them. They can take art classes if they would like which are much easier than other subjects such as history and science.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, PG’s. That’s kind of a separate thing altogether, don’t you think Gabi? </p>
<p>PS: I’m not bashing PGs. I think the PG year is a really perfect option for some kids. I just don’t tend to think of them in the same way as kids who apply for the high school end of it.</p>
<p>:D:D:D:D:DThanks</p>
<p>What do the PG’s “get” after the one year?</p>
<p>They’ve already graduated from a high school, so it’s not a diploma? certificate of some kind?</p>
<p>There are plenty of academic PG’s as well, especially this year. They don’t have as many requirements. (They only have to take 2 English credits, 3 math credits, and the rest can be filled with whatever they want.) Some of them are taking pretty challenging courses.</p>
<p>Oh of course, I’m not saying there aren’t academic PG’s. Just the only ones I know are athletes. They are really cool though ;D</p>
<p>redbluegoldgreen: PG’s receive the same exact diploma as other ‘regular’ graduates. And, just because the student isn’t a ‘PG’, doesn’t mean they haven’t spent 5 or 6 years in high school. Many kids repeat a year [mostly for athletics]. Then some will PG somewhere else.</p>
<p>Hi cutiedida, I was just wondering what your SSAT scores were on each section the SSAT? Thank you!</p>
<p>alex: I think RBGG was asking what they get from the school where they are doing their Postgraduate year. I’m a bit curious about that myself. Or are you saying they get a second diploma, because their credits from their previous school transfer to the new, postgraduate school?</p>
<p>alex, so the PGs end up with two high school diplomas? strange</p>
