<p>For everyone who has something to say about PA that would be helpful in choosing it as my high school, please comment on this thread. I really need some help and gotta make a super tough choice...</p>

<p>@jmoran Deerfield, Choate, Hotchkiss, Taft, and a really great day school near me. </p>

<p>since i went to andover summer session, i can assure you that facilities there are amazing. Don’t know about the community and faculty yet, but I’m sure they are amazing as well. You won’t be wrong if you go there.</p>

<p>I got into Andover as well and am having an EXTREMELY difficult decision between PA, Lville, Hkiss, Milton, and a full ride merit scholarship (Armellino Scholarship) at Peddie!! Please help</p>

<p>@swimming99 I know we talked a bit about this over message but I say go with your gut. Try to narrow it down to maybe two, possibly three, visit them, and then make a firm decision. Also remember that today is not the day that you have to decide. You have time. I say don’t decide today or tomorrow because you’re still in shock from even getting into any schools. Good luck with your decisions, and I hope you choose what’s best for you.</p>

<p>GO TO REVISIT DAYS!!! It’s fine to ask specific questions about different schools on these boards, but they’re all great schools, and only YOU (maybe with some parental input–also after revisit day) can decide where you fit the best. So go ahead and ask lots of specific questions-- but no one here can tell you which one to finally pick. It sounds like you have some great choices.</p>

<p>I firmly agree with Daykidmom about revisiting. I did, and it was what solidified my decision to attend Andover. The best school is not the most prestigious, or the one your parents went to, or the one with the most endowment. The best school is the best fit for you. I can’t speak for every school, but I know that the least happy students at Andover are the ones who are primarily there for a reason other than a love for the school. Happy decision-making!</p>

<p>Go to the revist days. It will help a lot.</p>
