<p>This is true.</p>
<p>Generally, it’s not a good idea to go to a prep school solely in hopes of attending your dream ivy league school. That’s just asking for a letdown and a disappointment. Go for the great experience; go for the the amazing academic and extracurricular opportunities available; go for the chance to meet people from all over the world - but don’t go to Andover so that you can get into Harvard. I know I won’t be spending my college years walking across Harvard Yard or watching football in the Yale Bowl, yet I wouldn’t trade in my experience at Andover for anything.</p>
