<p>I'm going next fall - class of 2010 :D</p>
<p>i was accepted yesterday by Exeter but i am probably going to Andover. for me, the Andover campus has a more open, welcoming feel to it...but they are both great schools. i consider myself very very lucky to go to either one.</p>
<p>In your acceptance letter, did you see they mentioned about four possible students? One is me.</p>
<p>samsam, everyone who gets the letter is the 4th student, that is how they personalize the letters.</p>
<p>accepted!
but I didn't get any FA, so I don't know how I will be able to afford it..</p>
<p>I thought Exeter was need blind...</p>
<p>Whoops. I know need blind means they accept you regardless of what your EFC is, which doesn't mean they'll give you as much FA as you need. By need blind I meant that I thought Exeter gave FA where it is needed.... I remember reading an article in the school newspaper featuring this accomplishment...</p>
<p>I do remember reading the article about Exeter becoming need blind, but if the SSS determines that a student's EFC is equal to the cost of the tuition and Exeter uses the SSS information, it may accept the student without FA. </p>
<p>Also, it is possible that when someone says they are not able to afford it, the family chooses not to spend or take a loan against its assets to pay for bs tuition right now.</p>
<p>Uh, I think I'm going to be attending next year, but won't make a final decision until after the second visit.</p>
<p>ExEteR class of '11
hee hee:D</p>
<p>Exeter All The Way....go Big Red....i Think Im Going For Sure....pea Rocks.</p>
<p>it is a little frustrating that EA is slowly filtering out information to the accepted students.Packages were late,postcards of congrats late,visitation process online a little impersonal.Hopefully this is not a reflection on how they communicate with parents.When you finally see the whole picture they seem very nice , but timing is a weak area.Borders on passive aggressive in the information age.By the way I like EA.</p>
<p>I know how you feel Francis</p>
<p>I just got a congratulations package-y thing from Exeter which included a personal, handwritten note from one of he history instructors; a signed postcard from the tour guides; and a letter to my parents. They're also considering my request for more FA. They're treating me pretty well, at least...</p>
<p>how much FA did you receive, tommeister?</p>
<p>that's cool! i only got the note from the tour guides.. what was the letter about? FA?</p>
<p>I think the note was just about teachers and stuff. I received a considerable amount of FA, but almost 5,000 more at Andover (+ a laptop)because of an endownment scholarship or something.</p>
<p>Yay! I got in too! Class of 2011..not sure if I will attend however...am dancer and musician and not sure how strong programs are</p>
<p>abkatdance, Exeter art programs are great, but SPS has an INTENSE dance program. If dance is a really strong passion you have, I'd say you could go either way but SPS's ballet program can't beat many other of the prep. schools in the nation.</p>
<p>we have gotten the acceptance package and then I got an email from my tour guide, a postcard from all the head tour guides, a letter from a family explaining their experience and a booklet with names of other parents you could contact, and today we got a handwritten note from the coach of the sport I will be going out for in the fall. I have been pretty pleased with the contact so far.</p>
