<p>Goodness gracious! There were some incredible applicants this year.</p>
<p>hahahha wow I am in awe. Feel so incompetent though heh </p>
<p>Wow I feel like I under accomplished compared to the other people admitted.</p>
<p>I can relate, feeling dismally average right about now hehe. Puts it into perspective just how difficult it is to gain admission to these schools. Congratulations to all admitted, and to all waitlisted or denied, I wish you the best of luck and hope you are accepted to others!</p>
<p>Puts it into perspective that we’ll just be average at Exeter lol</p>
<p>It’s okay @needtoboard, we can be non-prodigies together!</p>
<p>@exeterbunny lets do that</p>
<p>Sounds like a plan @needtoboard</p>
<p>Needtoboard: you have some great hooks for Exeter–“Students from every quarter,” alum. etc. The boys were overernrolled in the lower class, not the girls. And don’t get too intimidated by the new admits; I read those bios to my kid and he just rolled his eyes and smiled. (Well, the Vienna choir boy impressed him 
) </p>
<p>(Just realized that I meant to post this on the other Exeter thread, in response to your question about lowers’ admit rate. A sure sign of too many Exeter threads!)</p>
<p>Wowwie I feel pretty stinkin lame now. I feel like I’ll be one of their projects or something. I don’t even have a 4 point!!! Well hopefully I do well there. I think that I want to go there, even though my mom is obsessed with Cate.</p>
<p>That’s impressive. </p>
<p>@boardingjunkie, You most definitely shouldn’t feel lame. Admissions obviously did not think you were lame when they accepted you out of 2000+ applicants! Everyone at Exeter is talented and unique in their own way, whether it be a great personality, sports, academics, the arts, etc - sure there may be people like the ones mentioned in the article, but you need to remember that you were accepted for a reason. EXETER WANTS YOU AT THEIR SCHOOL! And there are going to be people like that everywhere. It most definitely is intimidating, but I promise you that you’re going to be fine. </p>
<p>I have to agreee. Seems like all of us accepted CCers are pretty normal kids! I have a feeling the prodigies and geniuses are actually few and far between ;)</p>
<p>@20exie17 thanks, and I’m not actually too sad about it really, however I am still surprised at how I got in. I feel like there are tons of kids doing the things i’m doing. But Thanks for the positivity, I really needed it. I think I’m just feeling a bit down because I got declined or waitlist from Andover for the second time and it was my first choice. </p>
<p>Include me in the non-prodigy group :)). Those kids have done twice as much as I have… It makes me feel undeserving of that acceptance. </p>
<p>Of course you’re deserving, you wouldn’t have gotten it if you weren’t!</p>
<p>Whoo I’m actually so excited guys. I think that I want to go to Exeter. I feel like it’ll challenge me and probably be intimidating at first, but I know it will help me so much in the long run. Plus it’ll help me achieve my dream of going to Columbia or NYU. </p>
<p>Excellent choice! I hope to see you there :)</p>
