<p>^^I buy “False impression 3” to a degree. It does feel that there’s something other than the applicants’ “qualifications” that was taken into consideration. Then it could be red flags in a number of other areas as well, - interview, recommendation, essays, parents interactions, etc. etc. </p>
<p>This board doesn’t “just” love Exeter and Andover. It’s true that they may “love” HADES or GLADCHEMMS more than other schools. It just so happens A & E are bigger schools and therefore have a bigger pool of people currently and prospectively associated with them, thus the greater coverage on this board.</p>
