<p>newyorka, although some of your points ring true, I would disagree that the only Andover students going to top colleges are “athletes, legacies, sons/daughters of Senators and other world leaders, the very rich and the top minorities.” </p>
<p>I go to Andover and can see a list of where kids are attending next year. There are a good number of kids who will be matriculating at Harvard, Princeton and Yale who are just hard-working, smart kids who have made their mark at Andover. Most kids at the top of the class (top 10%) are attending their first choice.</p>
