Interests and Activities:
I am involved in JV Water Polo; JV Swimming; Varsity Cycling (captain); Taiwanese-American Society (co-head); Recycle-a-Bicycle; E-Proctoring; The Exonian, advertisement designer; and Environmental Action Committee.
Why I Chose Exeter:
I picked Exeter because it offered so much opportunity with its dedicated faculty, small class size, discussion-based learning, and incredible facilities. Also, I only applied to Exeter.
Why I Like Exeter:
Exeter is a place of mental stimulation. The education experience at Exeter not only teaches you information, but also forces you to develop analytical skills and your own hypothesis. Exeter connects what is taught in the classroom with the real world, the application of the school motto, "Non Sibi," or not for oneself. Exeter is also a humbling experience. For a while you may not be the star as often, but you will learn double the amount in half the time. No "accelerated" class can match the wits of the Harkness Table.
