<p>Did anyone receive an email from Exeter saying that they thought you were a strong applicant, and recommend you apply for their summer school? I'm not sure if the "you are a strong applicant" part of the message is generic, so did everyone else who applied to Exeter receive this email?</p>
<p>I applied to Exeter but I didn’t get this mail. When did you get it?</p>
<p>I received it at noon today (3/22). I know one other user, slaverdiere, that received it as well. </p>
<p>Have you gotten other emails from Exeter before?</p>
<p>No email no nothing for hootoo.</p>
<p>Yes, I got other emails from Exeter. Nothing received after 3/10.</p>
<p>Were you guys accepted/rejected/waitlisted at Exeter? I was rejected, so I’m wondering why they still thought I was a “strong applicant.” Yes, there is a limited amount of space, and too many qualified applicants…any thoughts?</p>
<p>I was waitlisted. Schools do reject strong applicants based on their needs as they try to build the class. Waitlist can also be considered a soft rejection as the probability of going off the WL is quite low as they admit more candidates using their yield as a guide.</p>
<p>I was accepted but received no suh email</p>
<p>Wow! I can’t believe Exeter rejects kids then sends them a sales pitch for the summer program. Although, the summer program can be a good experience, it is not selective and it is a money maker for the school.</p>
<p>@creative1: Private schools are not charities. They charge for their services; and if you consider fund raising as a revenue source, they do turn a profit pretty consistently. They differ from “for-profit” schools only in that they do not have shareholders with their capital at risk. This means that profits must be either reinvested or distributed to “stakeholders” in the form of higher wages/benefits, ever-better facilities, financial aid, or accumulated in the endowment. A major university might make a huge profit on its MBA or JD programs and use it to fund losses in classics and build its endowment. </p>
<p>Sorry this is a little off-topic, but it’s such a popular misconception that I thought it was worth posting a few thoughts.</p>
<p>Everyone who applies gets the summer school invitation whether they accepted you for the regular session or not.</p>
<p>Summer school is very different than the regular session. They try to fill with rolling admissions. They want to fill their summer school and usu invite those who had already applied (any and all) saying you can skip the summer school app.</p>
<p>for someone we know it seemed like a slap in the face, a la, you’re good enough to come to our summer school (we’ll take your money), but not good enough to be a full-time student with us,</p>
<p>Buyer, beware!</p>
<p>@Pulsar: My D was WL at PEA and also didn’t receive a summer school email. She’s applying for 2014, so that also could have been the reason.</p>
<p>I got this same message!!</p>
<p>I got that e-mail too. I applied for 2014 and was rejected.</p>
<p>Did any of you who received the summer school email apply for FA? Just curious.</p>
<p>I didn’t receive the e-mail but I’m assuming its because Exeter really doesn’t like me. Second year applying for 2014 and rejected again!!! :)</p>
<p>Anybody went to the summer program? How is it compared to CTY?</p>
<p>DS was waitlsted, and did not receive the email.</p>
<p>2010 hopeful, as hard as two rejects sound, the third time may be a charm.</p>
<p>D did not apply for FA, was WL but no summer email.</p>
