<p>I WAS ONLY ACCEPTED TO BROOKS IF I REDO 9th GRADE</p>
<p>I was accepted to Governors for the tenth grade and accepted to brooks but only if I redo 9th grade, which one would you choose?</p>
<p>Which do you like best? And how does it work for your family financially?</p>
<p>if i had to choose between the two i would choose govs academy.</p>
<p>I would too. My family really liked them a lot. Plus they respect you enough to not ask you to pay for an extra year. Go for it!</p>
<p>My father went to Brooks and still attends the reunions. Harvard followed Brooks with WWII in between. Ever since I was a little boy I had been going up to Brooks with Dad and my brother for reunions. Neither my brother nor I followed our father to Brooks. Actually Dad did not have a problem with that since he was not too keen on the new (2nd) Headmaster back in the '70’s. I believe that Brooks is now on it’s 4th Headmaster which I find to be an extraordinary sign of good stewardship since it’s conception. My son played them in sports for 4 years enabling me to visit the school on numerous occasions. Despite the athletic competitiveness, my son did praise Brooks sportsmanship and that they were “good guys”. </p>
<p>Brooks has an incredible overseas program. The facilities, faculty are fantastic, the indoor rowing facility is state of the art and their college matriculation list is not so shabby. </p>
<p>I’ll also say that Brook’s DOA has to be one of the most perceptive and competent DOA that I have ever met. </p>
<p>My bias of course leans heavily towards Brooks, another one of those hidden gems that just doesn’t get enough play here on CC.</p>
<p>Go to the revisits and do your best to visualize your self there for the next 3-4 years. Go with what gut tells you, there’s your answer.</p>
