<p>So, since every other major school practically has it's own thread, I figured I'd start a thread for NMH, so that NMH applicants, NMH students, and NMH parents can all come together and discuss why NMH rocks :D</p>
<p>Here's a brief overview of how amazing NMH is:</p>
<p>-Founded in 1879 (old schools rock :D)
-Coeducational and non-denominational
-1100 acres (HUGE!! filled with trees, 16 tennis courts, the Connecticut River, and so much more)
-600 students
-1827 average SAT score (SAT range: 1640-1970)
-24.8 average ACT score
-No Saturday classes and No dress code! Sure as hell beats Exeter
-1:7 teacher to student ratio
-around 26 AP courses
-there are study abroad options, as well as several clubs to choose from
-the block schedule (you take three major college preparatory courses a semester, with a final result of six major college-prep courses in the entire year)
-67% SSAT average percentile
-47% admissions rate (but that has definitely changed after this year)
-61 sport teams to choose from!
-Boston is 2 hours away! (that can either be a pro or a con)
-huge diversity among students
-the work program (where each student is forced to work for four hours a week, either in the farm, the kitchen, etc.)
-mountain day (a random day during fall in which school gets cancelled as a surprise, and everyone goes mountain hiking).
-Laura Linney and Uma Thurma attended :D
-the 2009 college list included NMH students attending Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Lehigh, MIT, NYU, Rollins, Tufts, USC, Wake Forest, Westminster, and Wesleyan, among others. As you can see, an NMH student attends every single ivy, except Princeton, as a college freshman. :D</p>
<p>Now its your turn! Add anything you love about NMH, or any questions you may have about it. :D</p>
