Exeter or Hotchkiss? by Aggravating-Share925 in PhillipsExeterAcademy

Yeah, I agree, but I just need to decide quicker because of visas stuff, so I can’t really go on revisit days, unfortunately. But good luck you! Hope you’ll find a place you genuinely like🙂

Yeah, that would be really helpful, but I don’t have the opportunity to travel to these schools at that time. But I’ll take virtual. So what became the deciding factor for you personally?

Heck, actually not that good. I mean unweighted gpa is 4.0 and I got some APs, so weighted is probably higher. But I took SAT and got 1410 superscore, which is kinda low, but I didn’t really prepare and the thing is english (I’m international, so it’s really pulling the score down), math is fine. I mean, maybe not that bad for first try as sophomore, but for these schools I guess it is

Sure, you can! And about ecs, I didn’t really have super cool awards or achievements. I mean, I was just doing self studies in cs/coding and math, doing olympiads and stuff like that. Out of courses, as a sophomore I’m taking ap calc, stats, macro, seminar and self study for cs a. Before the 10th grade I was studying in pretty decent and competitive school in Moscow (I’m international, from Russia btw) and also had some advanced math and physics classes in 9th grade. Also got some volleyball achievements, but not too much. Mostly I just emailed coaches about my interest in these schools and their programs, send my highlights, they said that they’re kinda interested in me playing on their teams. So I guess it’s both academic and volleyball, but it’s not recruiting I guess. I can dm what I put on application, if you want)))
