exeter decisions

<p>Thanks for the input janemac...I appreciate it...I applied to SPS as well, just got accepted. The only reason I hestiate is that I got such a fantastic impression of Exeter. My interviewer was nicer and the town was gorgeous and the coursebook was superthick!</p>

<p>Forget how much you like the interviewer in terms of where you want to go to school. Hopefully, you took some time while on campus to meet faculty. Consider the tour guide and other students you run into. But the rapport you develop with the interviewer is slightly more important than how well you connect to the Assistant Burser and considerably less important (at least potentially) to how you get along with the Head of Buildings and Grounds.</p>

<p>Few posts make me want to scratch out my eyeballs more than the ones where applicants rave about how wonderful their interviewer was. If you happened to have one that lives in a dorm, okay consider it. Some may actually teach a class: consider them, too. But the big shot admission people who have a permanent office in the administration or admission building and do nothing but admissions...forget about them. Start bonding with the college counseling people if you want to hang with school officials. </p>

<p>But, pleeeease, I beg of you: don't base your decision as to where to spend your high school years on a 20 minute encounter with someone who you will have little to no meaningful interaction with over the next 3-4 years.</p>

<p>You have a good point Maker. Don't worry! I won't base my decision on just my interview! Or maybe not at all. She (the interview) was a teacher in one of my subject areas, so maybe that had some effet on me, but thanks for the comment!</p>

<p>That's good news, abk! </p>

<p>To be sure, your comment wasn't one of the "scratch my eyes out" comments that I've seen posted here from time to time (usually in a "chances" thread) where we're led to believe (if we can our suspend disbelief) that the interviewer is practically the applicant's new "big sister" now because they both love unicorns and romance novels.</p>

<p>My advice goes out to those who thought their interviewer was a bit creepy, too. Don't let that scare you away from an otherwise fantastic school. Perhaps there's a reason they stuck that person in admissions and not in the classroom...!</p>
