<p>Aw, I can relate to you since this is a stressful time. First of all just relax, worrying does nothing. Think of your priorities. Just remember that you must work on this application. While writing your essays think of how much you LOVE Exeter. Just remember to be yourself in your essays; you will shine if you do so. Exeter does not expect a Dan Brown (post Exeter). As you are writing stress organization and structure; the essay and recs give an idea as to where you should be placed (although the essay is really how they get to know you). Just pour your heart and soul into it. It is about YOU. Nothing else. Just keep that in mind. And just get something on paper as OP said. When you go to edit your work, ask if it really shows you. You have got this week to go. Just get your hw done first and spend an extra couple hours on your essay seeing as you need to get something out ATM. You can do it. Just remember that you will also own midterms. Your teachers should give you study guides. Your main priorities are keeping your averages up and writing that essay. You will succeed. Just think of how great it will feel to be done.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your advice! I actually just finished writing two pages on loose leaf paper! time to edit and shorten my piece!</p>
<p>Yay!! I knew you could do it! :)</p>
<p>Well I just sent in my essays. I’m dying while waiting for March 10th to come around. Nothing left to do for exeter… It’s easy to say “calm down, don’t worry about, etc.” but when push comes to shove, it’s really hard to do all that.</p>
<p>Last year I put a countdown to M10 on my desktop. On every notebook I had for school I had a countdown also. This year I plan on doing the same :D</p>
<p>Sincostan, you’re a reapplicant?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, yes. And by unfortunately, I mean I wish I had gotten in last year but I was waitlisted at every school I applied to.</p>
<p>Its ok, welcome to the club! Is Exeter your first choice?</p>
<p>Absolutely! Although I’m applying to other schools like L’vill and the Hill School, I’d rather go to exeter. I like those schools, but not as much as I like Exeter</p>
<p>Ugh. I checked my LionLinks account and the transcripts, test scores, and EC recommendation have not been received. Is anybody having the same issue?</p>
<p>Not really. They take a week or so to update. Last year I called the day after everything was due to make sure they had everything.</p>
<p>Ugh. It is probably my guidance office. My friend was applying to an alternative school and they purposely delayed everything for him. They delay everything for some reason. And now I don’t know what to do because my EC advisor is taking really long with the rec. although I should understand that my teachers and advisors have lives. I just feel like no one is taking my dream of attending BS seriously.</p>
<p>@LaDi… : Same here, guidance took more than two weeks to get me all the recs and transcripts. My high school’s system is just not that great, and the guidance counselors are extremely brusque. One of them pretty much told me to leave her alone.</p>
<p>Applying from middle school was so easy last year…</p>
<p>I second that last statement… You can email Exeter’s admissions office and explain your situation. As long as your stuff isn’t late and the recs aren’t too late, you should be okay.</p>
<p>I emailed guidance and they have done nothing. I don’t know why, but for some reason my school makes it extremely difficult to transfer. God, I hate them.</p>
<p>Well, Exeter’s app is due tomorrow! Does this mean that it’s due by tomorrow or due tomorrow? I’ve submitted everything just to be sure, but I was just wondering</p>
<p>Everything has to be mailed by the 15th.</p>
<p>Okay. I’ve set the timers and countdowns for M10. I’ve already been having paranoia about M10 and what will happen. Hopefully things turn out better than last year. But no way to know until M10. What a shame…</p>
<p>AHH!!! So nervous. My Lord, I am dying here. M10 ha going to be doomsday. Don’t worry. , sincostan. You are going to get in. I’m sure. M10 will be GLORIOUS!!</p>
<p>Well, that’s what I hoped for last year. Given what I’ve seen from you and your posts, I know that YOU will get in. I’m not so sure about myself… But there’s nothing left to do now. Just waiting. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting.</p>
