I don’t see the point about arguing about all of this…ultimately, whatever high school you go to, whether it be Andover,another boarding school, or a public school, you will need to carve a path for yourself. I’m sure that nearly every boarding school has the resources to aloow every student to thrive, and it really boils down to an individuals students will to take advantage of the vast resources.
And @Center no need to berate @andover20___ I agree that someone not going to Andover yet shouldn’t be posting all of this stuff, however it is also wrong to make such generalizations about big donor admits and legacies, as was pointed out above. Make your generalizations about these students after actually interacting with them at Andover. I happen to know plenty of intelligent ones…
@andover20___ Perhaps you should stop pasting all of these links for rankings. I can tell you for certain they they are not some sort of be all end all. When these rankings come out, we at Andover always have a good laugh about them, jokingly fire some shots at Exeter, then move on. We know the quality of our school by actually experiencing it, just as an Exeter student knows how special their school is.
