Kent School

<p>Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew what the average sat score is? Also, the class sizes seem to vary from source to source, so does anyone have an approximate guess?</p>

<p>Class size at pretty much all the boarding schools seems to be around 10-14, I would venture to guess it's the same there.</p>

<p>Average class size at Kent: 12</p>

<p>From the Kent School web site (Kent</a> School: Welcome) under the Admissions section:</p>

<p>You should talk to Aussie13, he's going there in the fall.</p>

<p>im going there in the fall too as an incoming sophomore,
so if you have any questions....</p>

<p>I received a phone survey from them. It was really weird. They asked me why i didn't apply and threw on some guilt make-you-feel-bad-for-not-applying stuff. Sort of low for the person who started that.</p>

<p>Could you elaborate on that McskittlZ10?</p>

<p>Ummmm, I have no idea. lol
Im pretty sure it's high. If you know someone at the school you could call them and ask.</p>

<p>We got a phone survey from Kent as well. I think it was a contracted company, not really the school. We were honest, we asked for info in September, got a brochure about art and then didn't get a view book until about 2-3 days before the application was due. No other contact and in the mean time found a whole bunch of other schools that were great fits.<br>
I wonder if admissions had low application vs inquiry stats this year and hired someone to do an evaluation to find out why.</p>

<p>Kent actually had a record breaking applicants this year. But it could be that there is a substantial number of inquiries left unaccounted for.</p>

<p>if you are going to kent, i have a friend who is going too (for ninth grade) so if you want to talk to her, i'll give you her email :)</p>

<p>Elaboration initiated. </p>

<p>It was a Saturday night and i was watching a movie at home when the phone rang. Who could it be? The circus? An early acceptance from Andover? The president? Warren Buffet holding a 50B dollar check? Nope, it's a kid. </p>

<p>I'll skip the story. Apparently Kent was using a bunch of students to conduct a telephone survey. They had my contact info because i requested information about the school, but did not visit/apply. First, they asked to speak to my father. They asked him loads of questions, the same as mine. </p>

<p>They asked what was my favorite school. I said Andover. </p>

<p>Then they began to ask questions like how important is chapel to you? Very important, sorta important, a bit important, not of importance.<br>
how important is a no-drug policy?
how important is an after school sport?</p>

<p>What do you like about Andover?</p>

<p>I said the bla bla alaablabbla </p>

<p>All the answers i gave that i liked about Andover they turned around and said Kent has that, Kent has this. Sort of a guilty feeling. </p>

<p>What would you say 1 being least important 10 being most is efficient energy? Great academics? Wonderful school spirit?</p>

<p>Then, at the end they asked why i didn't apply because all the values that i looked at in a school were at Kent. I said blabalblabbl.</p>

<p>That was how it went down. I still think its a bit low to ask students to have surveys about their school on the telephone with random kids. </p>

<p>I completly respect Kent though, don't take this the wrong way.</p>
