<p>Hi everyone I'm new.</p>
<p>Does Exeter require a writing sample as part of the application? ("corrected and graded by a teacher")</p>
<p>This is no substitute for getting information directly...or from someone trustworthy who knows for sure...but, to help ease your mind until you get confirmation: LAST YEAR Exeter did NOT REQUIRE a graded and corrected paper from your current school.</p>
<p>Another question about the Exeter application. In the student essay part of the application it says:</p>
<p>Mail this form along with the typewritten copy to Phillips Exeter Academy, in the envelope provided, postmarked by January 15, 2008. </p>
<p>I'm downloading the application from the internet, and never received an application package from them, so they never provided me with an evelope. Can I just send it in my own?</p>
<p>It's January 13 and I think it would be just awful and I would weep if your application just sat on your desk another two or three days for want of an envelope that wasn't provided by the school...</p>
<p>I have to send mine in a DHL/Fed-Ex package anyway. Will they let me off, or whatever, because of that? I know it's not a big deal, but I'm paranoid.</p>
<p>If a school rejects your application because you didn't use the "approved" envelope...then I doubt you'd want to make that school your home-away-from-home. So consider it a favor. Think of it as a little test for them!</p>
<p>Haha, alright. Thanks for the reassurance :)</p>
<p>oh, that's what i did too.
i just used a big brown envelope with the written address
i thought if i used tiny envelopes for ea. package it would be too much work for them to get each of the letters and sort them out..</p>
