<p>I can't seem to figure out whether this is a stereotype attached to Zuming Feng or not.</p>
<p>I'm sure both Andover and Exeter are mostly well-rounded schools though, regardless...I think it's possible both are -slightly- more humanities-inclined based on the historical background of New England Prep schools.</p>
<p>Bump.</p>
<p>I’m not sure…I know of two asian males who are math/science inclined and were accepted to Andover and denied at Exeter. Could just be a coincidence…</p>
<p>Despite the stereotypes that seem to be propagated here, I think both of these schools are equally strong across the board. However, you should realize that any one of us can be really familiar with only one or the other. My sense of Exeter thus far is that it is impressively strong in classics, modern languages, English, religion, and music - as well as in math and science. That’s my $0.02 - so take it for what it’s worth too!</p>
<p>Mainer, You left out history among the humanities. Is it not that strong?</p>
<p>Actually history is one of Exeter’s strongest departments–and the three-term American history class known as one of the most challenging courses students take while they’re there.</p>
<p>classicalmama is absolutely correct. In addition to what she posted, I can add that our son’s first term history course was rigorous and demanding. Even though our son got only a B, he learned more about studying history than any of us could have imagined beforehand. His teacher’s guidance was patient, nurturing, consistent, and to the point. It was a marvelous learning experience for him, with benefits that will carry over to many other studies as he goes on at Exeter.</p>
<p>Thanks Mainer and C’mama. This is great info for all who need to make decisions by A10.</p>
