Can everyone who chose Andover please respond to this thread! I want us to all know each other before we attend.
Je suis un Andover Buddy! We can also figure out if we can meet people during revisit dates-- I’m going on March 24th I think!
@livesk8dream Me too!
Go Blue! #SayYesToAndover
Hi! I think I’ll be attending Andover, too. I’m also going on the 24th!
Why don’t we say some things about ourselves? I’ll start 
From: Andover, MA (so I’m a day student)
Gender: Female
Grade: going into 9th
Ethnicity: Asian
Age: 13–almost 14
What I like to do: Competitive math (AMCs and stuff like that), violin, figure skating, tennis, writing
Why I applied to Andover: It’s been my dream to go here since I was young-- I’d pass by it everyday going to school and I am so happy to have been given the chance to attend!
So excited to meet all of you guys!!!
Okay!
From: Florida (I’m already envisioning myself trying to adjust to the MA weather- it’s kind of funny.)
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: South Asian
Age: 14
I love literature and political activism! I’m passionate about doing good for the world. Similarly, I like student gov and things like it. I’m also into competitive math @livesk8dream ! I also love the TV show Game of Thrones, if any of you are into that.
Why I applied: Andover’s emphasis of ‘non sibi’ attitudes drew me in, because I want to devote my life to serving others. I love Andover’s social and academic climate, and I want to be challenged by myself, my work, and my peers.
Honestly, I can’t wait until I can meet y’all on M24!
@monica20 - it is an adjustment for kids from warmer climates coming to New England! Freshman year the first snow DS was dressed for the weather (warm jacket) but his dorm mate from Southern California had a hat, gloves, scarf, parka, boots, etc.
@MA2012 Haha! We joked with our DD that she will be dressed like the Ralphie’s little brother in A Christmas Story.
i just found this thread so i’m going to revive it real quick
from: i was raised in winchester, ma, but i was born and currently live in kentucky, and i can’t stand it here. so that question’s really up for debate
gender: female
ethnicity: nigerian-american
age: 14
interests/what i’m involved in: fashion design, government/politics, journalism, choir, literature, activism
why i applied: i first heard about andover through a family friend, kevin olusola. he’s actually the beatboxer in pentatonix (he was in the yorkies when he attended andover!), and when i was younger and they weren’t as big as they are now, his dad had talked to our family about the school and how great it was. years later, my mom mentioned andover again towards the end of my elementary school career. i decided to visit the website and totally fell in love with the school. it’s been in my plans from the beginning, and i can’t wait to start next year
