<p>I remember when they also came in my city and they said they were looking for NICE people I was laughing then I said I’m nice!</p>
<p>lindha,</p>
<p>that is EXACTLY what the andover guy said to me, in so many ways that makes sense</p>
<p>especially at andover where most of the applicants are 95% ssat or better with a very high gpa</p>
<p>I think picking students at the top school is a job i woudnt want,</p>
<p>knowing what i know now…i would have looked at more “tier 2” school and given up the strongest academic for a spot.</p>
<p>Staying in my D’s high school is not an option so it will be bs or college, high school in our city is a waste (4 hours of homework/nite) for her and because we are in a major city it is dangerous</p>
<p>Bumping for 2013</p>
<p>This is a great thread.</p>
