I am asking because I am carefully thinking about whether to apply or not.
Thank you (:</p>
<p>leppy, you sound like a strong candidate. How are you test scores?</p>
<p>hmm. well i havent taken the ssat yet, but i have taken the practice test, and my advisor at school thinks i can score 90< percentile.</p>
<p>I’m cautious to call anyone a shoo-in, but it is difficult to imagine any school turning you down if your scores are up there.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Just apply! You have nothing to lose.</p>
<p>thanks guys. i think ive narrowed it down to just 2 schools- exeter and thacher</p>
<p>I have a rising 7th grader trying to make plans for next summer, does the Exeter Summer Program help your chances of getting in, do you think?</p>
<p>The summer program is a great way to show that your child is ready for the boarding experience, but it is hardly the only way. I don’t know if it really improves your chances. I’m sure there were plenty Access Exeter alum who were not admitted.</p>
<p>From conversations with parents whose children have gone to the Exeter summer program, I gather that it’s not very much like the regular session, but that it is a lot of fun. So if you think your child would love it, then by all means, sign him/her up! But I wouldn’t count on it improving chances.</p>
<p>well i have heard it does, especially if you get good grades- i got 3 honors grades, which is the best grades you can get. its really fun, and you get a taste of the boarding school experience- i would reccommend it for sure. also, you can get good reccommendations from teachers, and they are mostly exeter alums or teachers, and can tell you about the experience.</p>
