<p>i saw this in some thread and i just wanted to share it with everyone
This Book, "The Boarding School Survival Guide," which was written by a current Andover student (along with many students from other top schools), has info on the admissions process and then actual life in BS and even covers college admissions
I started reading it and it has some useful info
Anyways the link on amazon is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Boarding-School-Survival-Guide-Petersons/dp/0768938732/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top">http://www.amazon.com/Boarding-School-Survival-Guide-Petersons/dp/0768938732/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top</a>
You can also just preview the first couple of chapters on amazon
Oh and at the end, there is a scholarship contest, where i believe the author is giving away 2 scholarships to 2 deserving readers</p>
<p>Oh wow it came out! Should definitely check this out! </p>
<p>I got it and read it, found it pretty interesting. We (CC) get an honorable mention in the back as to Prep School resources! Go us!</p>
<p>This was the hot book when we were students in the 80’s, for prep and non-prepschool students alike:
The Official Preppy Handbook
by Lisa Birnbach</p>
<p>I bought a used copy for my kids (it’s out of print). They thought it was HILARIOUS.</p>
