<p>Acceptance Rate for '12: 12%</p>
<p>Number of Applicants in 2008: 2678 (Grades 9-PG)</p>
<p>I believe that number is how many started the application process, not how many submitted completed applications. Once you figure how many were accepted out of COMPLETED applications, the admit rate is much higher than 12%.</p>
<p>hmm well still very low</p>
<p>oh EFF this crap.
Numbers are just one aspect of the admissions game. For one, they scare us applicants. For another, they will mean NOTHING when you get the accept, reject, or waitlist come March, except maybe it'll make you feel better that you got rejected because only 12% got accepted!!!</p>
<p>Gawd I hate this hype.</p>
<p>lol. and anyways, it was confirmed by a current 2012 student that she has friends that have gotten in with a score lower than 80% on the SSAT's. im now relieved. but she is a genius. she's currently taking precalc as a freshman and has already done chemistry, biology, and physics.</p>
<p>she says that there are ppl at exeter that are even better than her concerning their accomplishments, which flat out scares me</p>
<p>I find it funny how worried people get on these boards. I'm not cocky or anything but I think everyone applying to these schools needs a certain level of confidence to stand a chance in the environment of especially A/E. Just my opinion..</p>
<p>Finding such amazing people is common in such schools ... for instance some freshmen at Hotchkiss are taking calc and ahigher math (the subject after calc) as freshmen. These people come in as absolute geniuses and just bloom in competitive school like Hotchkiss and Deerfield. But basically i think that posting hype like the stuff i posted above and the stuff you posted is useless. We are just incresing anxiety and making some schools look better than others when in fact that is likely notthe case. We are creating false impressions of the schools based on the mindless speculation of random 15 year olds ... not the best course of action i think. PLus I am good friend with the creator of the group (we are in the same order) so i'll ask him about this and post what he says on here. Although i am nearly 100% sure that the 12% thing is false.</p>
<p>ohhh dearr.</p>
<p>Knowing that the admission rate is 12% and not knowing it won't affect your chances at getting in, unless you see it, then immediately give up completely.</p>
<p>mpicz, i agree. the people at these schools- well, it isn't as though they're untouchable. they're smart, some of them very smart, some brilliant, and some of them are just above-average. you don't need to be overly confident, but don't psyche yourself out!</p>
<p>I'm still equal parts worried about getting in, and then getting the financial aid I need. Added together...</p>
<p>hahah Nasafato i'm in the same situation.. my dad's like, you really shouldn't be worried about getting in, it's the financial aid situation that should keep ya up at night! agh. that just, doesn't seem fair, the possibility that i could go through all of this, get in, and then be denied my hard-earned spot at the school because of a problem with money. that would be even worse than rejection, in my opinion. hope it wont be the case for me! at least exeter has a large endowment...</p>
<p>oh my, that's rather low</p>
<p>I think he may have meant that if you get in all that will matter is how much financial aid you get.</p>
<p>Actually, kemmek hit it spot on. All of my friends keep telling me how I'll definitely make it in, you'll do fine, etc, etc. But I'm really worried about the financial aid (well, right now, I'm more worried about actually getting the essays in on time, but, you know...). And I don't think I made it clear in the interview how much I wanted to go to Exeter.</p>
