Andover Philips Academy Community?

Hey so am applying to 9th grade at Andover and would love to get in contact with someone currently studying there to ask about some tips to get into the school and what life at the high school is like, however, there really is no way to reach anyone in the school, ive tried looking for discord servers, forums on sites, I mean I was even so desperate as to look for a subreddit! Which by the way did exist to my surprise, however, it is mostly dead, so do you guys at Philips Andover have some sort of community discord where the link is only shared in between you guys, or do you guys just not communicate at all? (I mean at my current Middle School we have group chats so I was honestly expecting the same from Andover, so if anyone from inside the school could get me into one of these groups I assume exist it would be very appreciated.

Move this to the Prep School Admission Thread to get some responses.

I moved it.

Some guy keeps crapping it up with memes.

There is a discord server but it’s double secret :wink:

Have you tried asking an AO to put you in touch with a current student or two, maybe a tour guide? Or a coach for a sport you’re into?

There have been Andover kids on this forum. What are your questions?

Wonder who that is…

Honestly got tired of reading through chance me posts :roll_eyes:

Mainly what percentile on their SSAT they had when applying

Not really, although now that Ive finally finished up with taking tests I might look into getting in touch with the swimming team coach

Thanks!

Also as for the discord server, I don’t know if you could do a guy a favor and maybe share a invite link :smirk:

Andover has recently been and still is test optional. So, my personal guess is that unless you are at 95th percentile and above, don’t submit your test scores.

I highly recommend this. They will give you great insight into the level of swim and team culture at PA.

I do not have access myself sorry.
