Hotchkiss vs. St. Paul's

<p>I got in to 4 schools, but I have narrowed my top choices down to Hotchkiss and St. Paul's. They are both incredible, and I have no idea what I will do! If any of you have any advice or an opinion on which is better please respond! Thank you!</p>

<p>Also please PM me… I really want to hear other peoples’ opinions :)</p>

<p>St. Paul’s! all the way!</p>

<p>Blessemy, just out of curiosity, what did you like more about St. Paul’s that you didn’t like about Hotchkiss? I’m so tired of everyone saying “oh they are both great schools!” I’m so glad someone actually has an opinion!</p>

<p>I visited both Hotchkiss and St. Pauls. But, I feel as though St. Paul’s gives you more support and the environment there, well at least for me, St. Pauls gives me a homey feeling. But, it is all up to you. I got accepted to Hotchkiss, too. But, St. Pauls was a school I could see myself going too. I don’t know that this will help you out, but yeah… in the end you will know you will make the right decision. Good luck (y) :)</p>

<p>Thank you so much Blessemy! It’s really nice to hear your take on the two schools.</p>

<p>Welcome anytime :D!!</p>

<p>Contrary to Blessemy even though I visited both Hotchkiss and St.Paul’s and loved them both I could see myself fitting in there more. I had a family feel there and connected with my interviewer more at Hotchkiss than at St.Paul’s. Plus, even though Hotchkiss is in the “middle of nowhere” I loved the seclusion, it felt very small town charm to me.</p>

<p>Thank you so much confusedonhades, I completely agree with the seclusion part. Did you get into Hotchkiss???</p>

<p>livy2462 yes I did; as a new lower</p>

<p>confusedonhades Awesome! I’m admitted as a prep. Which revisit day are you going to?</p>

<p>Livy2462, if you have narrowed the choice to two schools, please let the other two schools which accepted you know that you will not accept their offer of admission. If you do it now, you help those schools, and potentially a student on a waitlist. Yes, the schools plan for yield, but if you have a talent or skill the schools really need, they may accept someone who’s waiting right now.</p>

<p>periwinkle I already have!</p>

<p>April 8 :)</p>

<p>Aww confusedonhades I’m going on March 28 :(</p>

<p>I was about to go then but I was invited a diversity dinner at the school the night before so I had to change the date</p>

<p>confusedonhades I wish I could meet you but have fun at your diversity dinner! and congrats on Hotchkiss!</p>

<p>Maybe I’ll see you on campus! Haha :)</p>

<p>St. Pauls (: maybe i’m a bit biased cause i didn’t go visit hotchkiss yet. Are you going to the revisits for St. Pauls?</p>

<p>Chocolatefudge-- I am going to the revisits! I don’t remember what date I’m going on though :confused: so I’ll find that out later. What date are you going on?</p>
