<p>hi all
im applying to andover (and a few other schools) for the upcoming 2011-2012 school year as a 9th grader. im just wondering how everyone is doing with their applications?
feel free to talk about anything you want that has to do with andover :) current student feedback about campus life is also appreciated as well as anything else</p>
<p>someone please respond!!! i would really like some conversation going!</p>
<p>Well maybe i should elaborate more on what i would like from this thread…</p>
<p>some questions to consider:
- is andover your top choice?
- what do you like about andover?
- what are some of your ECs and qualities that you think make you stand out?
- For current students: how is the relationship at school with the opposite sex? are you currently in a relationship with someone? do you feel its different since you basically live and see them all the time?</p>
<p>am i being too impatient asking for quicker replies? lol</p>
<p>i guess i could start off by saying that andover is very, very high on my list. (basically my #1).</p>
<p>I love the friendly campus. i dont really know much about the people that are currently going there. my tour guide when i visited was very nice. i like that there isnt a formal dress code. </p>
<p>anyone have anything to say? i would really, really appreciate any comments or feedback :)</p>
<p>I am also applying to andover for a second time.</p>
<p>I submitted my application last week since the deadline for day students is January 15th. </p>
<p>Honestly Andover is close to the bottom of my list. Its a great school and all, but there are many other schools that would suit me better.</p>
<p>My tour guide was really nice and it was one of the best tours I’ve ever had.</p>
<p>I’m applying for boarding at andover.</p>
<p>I’m also applying to other schools and their due dates are on the 15th as well…i havent even started a few appications yet. ahhhhhh. :/</p>
<p>Good Luck! I still have to finish up 10 essays for the schools I’m applying to. I’ve been really busy with school lately that I’ve haven’t had too much free time.</p>
<p>are most of yours due on the 15th!!! if so…you have ALOT of work to do! i thought i was the only one :/</p>
<p>I’m applying to Phillips and Choate, but that’s it. I went to Andover’s Summer Session and loved it, which is what drove me to apply. </p>
<p>I’m done with everything except the essays…</p>
<p>I thought Andover’s application for boarding was February 1st…</p>
<p>“Priority will be given to day student candidates who complete the application procedures by January 15 and boarding candidates who complete the application procedures by February 1. A decision from the admission committee will be mailed on March 10. The possibility of admission is considerably lessened for all applicants who complete the process after the stated deadlines and decisions for this group will not be rendered before May 1.”</p>
<p>@cassat: ive done a rough draft of everything for andover…but i think i might rewrite everything because it just wasnt my best work. </p>
<p>@yellowubi: yes i know andover’s application is due on feb 1st. however i have many other schools im applying to (exeter, st. pauls, milton, noble and grenough) that are due on the 15th and i havent started a few of those, and some i havent even edited once. so i am really not in good shape right now. are you applying to any schools?</p>
<p>is anyone else applying to andover here? i dont know, its probably cause im new, but today CC seems to be lacking new posts from people on Prep school admissions! are people freaking out about last minute applications finishes?</p>
<p>I’m applying to Andover, but I’ve finished and already sent in my applications (+essays) for all ten schools I’m applying to. :D</p>
<p>wow you are lucky!
which school is your top choice?</p>
<p>I’m not going to say on this board…</p>
<p>ok thats fine :)</p>
<p>yeah, I am. idk what i’d rank it though, i’m not really applying to many schools and they rank very close. I haven’t been to campus yet, but from pictures and online tours it seems amazing!</p>
<p>Your top choice will be the one you can see yourself attending on revisit day.</p>
<p>I’m visiting Andover tomorrow. 
I can’t wait!</p>
