<p>The reason that Kent came to mind:
A. It was the most “nurturing” and our college counselor told me that class rank is very important and that the academic rigor of Andover can almost be matched by Kent or Hotchkiss or Choate if you push and take all of the top courses that you can. I don’t believe that, but they believe it.
B. Kent offered more FA than we expected. Hotchkiss and Choate offered almost 85% what we expected(My dad called up and asked how much would be “conservative” estimate(We haven’t gotten an official offer)… My dad expects Andover will offer even less. </p>
<p>He still thinks that Andover would be the best choice, but he keeps giving me mixed signals. They have told me that they will decide friday as to if I will go to revisits and such.</p>
<p>italian border … Hotchkiss is already at the academic rigor of Andover … if you take the basic courses at hotchkiss they are equal to the basic courses at andover.</p>
<p>I really don’t know what they are deciding right now. Anytime I try and bring it up my dad just tells me to shut up, because it will be discussed friday. I have a huge Lacrosse tournament during revisits and I have Youth Leg. They told me to concentrate on that while they make the decision. I’m really concerned that my needs won’t be met, but I’m really confident that Andover or Hotchkiss or Choate or Kent will be great places. I’ve been thrown into new schools and new cities before and I’ve never really been unhappy for long.</p>
<p>That being said, I think my parents are leaning towards Andover(if I really got in… They tell me that I need to see the package before they celebrate. Neighbors may be wrong…)
How much would it suck if it was like a waitlist letter that was just padded?</p>
