<p>And, if said faculty member or coach likes you, they might put a good word in for you- which is always helpful.</p>
<p>I’m surprised no one has talked about the fat that you should be applying to school other than just Exeter/Andover/Deerfield. Those are top schools and the major qualified students get turned down. Of course, I don’t know much about you as a person, or truly even as an applicant, but anyone should know if they are seriously considering boarding school to apply to more than just the big dogs that everyone knows about. I recommend boardingschoolreview.com for suggestions.
And good luck in general though! I feel like I come off as so mean in my comments, though I’m truly just trying to help! :)</p>
