Does being an international candidate harm your application to BS like Andover, Exeter and Deerfiel

Hey! I totally agree with @Atria: apply to NMH! I was recently accepted, although I won’t be attending. It’s a really great place. Really supportive, fun, and challenging. In addition to apply to whichever more competitive schools that you choose, I would recommend NMH and Berkshire. They are both great schools with amazing students, and they’re slightly easier to get into than Choate, Andover, Exeter, Deerfield, etc.
