<p>Do any of you have information on how Postgraduate students fare at Exeter? How does it all work in terms of academics, fitting into the community, admission and any other information on the overall experience? is it worth it?
I'm currently at a prep school but am considering a PG year when I graduate if I don't get into the colleges I want to, so that I'll have more time to possibly get recruited by some of the college coaches etc.
Any information on PG years at Exeter (or any prep schools) would be greatly appreciated, thanks!</p>
<p>A couple of people you might like to ask are hazmat (a current student at Exeter I think), tommeister, and redpride11 (both of which will be freshmen next year).</p>
<p>Olivia.. I dont think incoming freshmen can help much about PGs, I've been at Exeter 2 years and I know nothing about being a PG.</p>
<p>I think fitting into the community is no different from other new students. I've known 3 PGs and they were all really great, everyone loved them.</p>
<p>Aren't most PGs recruited athletes?</p>
<p>just to clarify, Nox would you be an academic or athletic PG?
there are a couple of academic PGs, among the 25 or so other athletes, but they are pretty rare...</p>
<p>they fit in fine are immediately welcomed in their dorm/house, just like all new students, and even though they obviously aren't as close as all the other members of the senior class, friends are made quickly.</p>
<p>academics are pretty lax, and for athletic PGs, they matter the least. </p>
<p>as for the experience, it might not be any different than the prep school you attend now. where do you go now?</p>
<p>Nox -- If you let us know which sport you might get recruited to play, some people might suggest additional boarding schools for a PG year. Some schools are well-known for certain sports, and have a track record of recruitment for that sport.</p>
