Entering 9th or 10th? Girl or boy? Sports, EC interests, need to know more.
10th. Girl. Soccer, Crew, Dance. @karen0
Did you revisit? Neither school is in the center of the universe, or anything.
NMH is much bigger, but way smaller than it used to be. More students means more new tenth graders.
Pomfret likes their crew teams. NMH competes with schools like Deerfield and Choate in sports. No pool at Pomfret, but that probably doesn’t matter to you–but boo, Corzine, boo.
Both schools present themselves as prosperous and well-kept. Word on the street is there’s a new science building coming at NMH.
You applied to both, so what drew you to those schools in the first place? Is one a better fit based on your priorities?
Both are excellent schools, so unless one of them is so deficient for you in some way that you shouldn’t have even bothered, it’s first and foremost a bigger or smaller question.
@GnarWhail i got into both but only got FA at Pomfret (not alot). I like NMH alot more.
@estruck12 Does the FA matter to your family? If so, done deal.
If not, you like NMH lots. For what it’s worth, so do I. I love the way they handled making the school smaller, I appreciate that they play in the sandbox with the rest of the ESA, and I believe everything will be coming up Milhouse for NHM in the future.
Pomfret doesn’t offer FA to all the accepted applicants from families with need, so if they gave you some cash and NMH didn’t, maybe Pomfret’s telling you somethin’…
