<p>Late to the party but here’s my two cents. Waitlisted last year? Yes - reapply.</p>

<p>Don’t have straight A’s this year - it will look like you’re slacking off and the answer may be worse.</p>

<p>You want Exeter you’ll have to show you’re doing even better than the year before. Also, if you find your school easy but say your grades aren’t as good as they could be - that might be enough to kill the deal. IMHO.</p>

<p>The school is hyper competitive given it’s reputation. Give them the best possible profile on your app.</p>

<p>But consider this - we applied to 6 schools and found that one that was not originally on our radar was the best fit. </p>

<p>Look at a variety of schools and pick a few you’d love. Better to have choices than none.</p>

<p>Would being waitlisted improve your chances of admission? And how hard is it to get accepted as an incoming sophmore?</p>

<p>if you have to ask people whether to apply or not you shouldnt apply…</p>

<p>@ ExieMITAlum- Actually, my grades have improved in all subjects except languages. But my final report card(for last year) wasn’t very good.</p>
