I recently got into these two amazing schools.
I really enjoyed both tours of the campus and am definitely coming back to the revisit days.
Can anyone with experience between these two schools tell me which one you would prefer (I’m more involved with academics and athletics, I’m not involved the the arts at all)
Thank you
@BasicPlanet my daughter is considering these two and Choate so hopefully someone responds here.
@neuroticmama Congrats to your doaughter on getting accepted! So far I’m going towards Middlesex because of the wide variety of clubs, and how close of a community it is. Good luck to you!
Congrats to both of you on your (and your daughter’s) acceptances! I just commented on another thread regarding Middlesex if you are interested in reading it: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/1869936-andover-vs-middlesex.html#latest
Choate is a wonderful school. I know nothing about Middlesex but here is why Choate was a good fit for my son: atmosphere of helping one another-it’s a competitive, challenging school but the kids don’t compete with each other, they help each other. Lots of encouragement to be creative from the iD lab spaces to the arts programs- music, arts and theatre programs are wonderful. My son though also loves the sciences which are top notch. Nice science research program as well as other signature programs. He loves it and while I miss him being away from home, I know he is at a place that is a perfect fit for him. Hopefully you will find the right match for your daughter.
Here is a question and answer thread for Choate. It might help answer some questions.http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/1868987-welcome-new-choaties.html#latest
Thank you @Penguins75 and @Momchoate I meant we are considering these 2 and Hotchkiss. So any thoughts on the pros/cons of all is very helpful. Love the perspective on Choate. So helpful!
