<p>I wonder why Andover's admission rate didn't drop, it was 21% last year. I think Exeter's dropped by about 5%.</p>
<p>Exeter was 22% this year?</p>
<p>I think so, Exeter was really popular this year. Its catching up with Andover in the amount of applications. I also think this year's yield is going to be much higher than previous years.</p>
<p>It really can't get much higher than 2/3... unless you count Andover's for last year, 80%.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about 75%.? Andover also has alot of day students in Greater Boston, not many people live in Exeter, New Hampshire. Theirs no close big city.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think that makes a huge difference. A lot of Andover's students are day students. You really can't turn down Andover for a public if you get in.</p>
<p>Why are Andover, MA public schools bad. I heard North Andover High was pretty good.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Andover and Exeter are virtually the same size (1,050-1,070 students;</p></li>
<li><p>Andover has 27% day students, and Exeter has 21% day students;</p></li>
<li><p>The public schools in Andover and North Andover are among the best in Massachusetts;</p></li>
<li><p>Residents of Andover, No. Andover, No. Reading, the city of Lawrence and several other nearby towns CANNOT enroll as boarders, but only as day students if they wish to attend Phillips Academy.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks Byerly for the great information.</p>
<p>Although the public schools in Andover are very good, they've recently made cuts in the arts. The Andover public schools also aren't very diverse.
Andover is a rich town, so most families can afford to send their children to Phillips. Day student applications are very competitive.</p>
<p>I know some people who live in Andover.all of them are freakin rich... it's so unfair!!!</p>
<p>Cool, I should make alot of day friends so I can go places.</p>
<p>Bahh, the acceptance rate was 14% this year!</p>
<p>^You do realize you just posted on a thread on which no one had for the past 5 years, right?</p>

<p>Epic necro… I didn’t even know that HSL has around 5 years ago!!!</p>
