Western Reserve Ac. VS Hathaway Brown??

Prep School Admissions
1

Hi! I’m considering whether to attend Western Reserve Academy or Hathaway Brown School for Girls.

I like both schools, but I feel like HB is a bit more exciting. I also like the all-girls aspect, but I acknowledge that it may not necessarily be as competitive because of it. WRA also seems to be academically very challenging, but I find the student population a little intimidating.

About me:

Kumon student Finished Reading Program and on Level I in Math
Tennis Player
Goal is to practice medicine
Interested in Boston College, Case Western Reserve University, Boston University, NEOMED, and UMass
SSAT range 2200+

Which school is academically better and will help me to get into the above universities? What should I study before high school to prepare me? Also, what is social life like at each school?

All comments are really appreciated. Thank you!!

I assume you will be a day student at WRA? Are most students boarders? That may make a difference.

HB is OK, socially my girls both found it difficult and they both transferred out.

Is there a good public high school in your town? Here in Ohio, public is often the best option, with PSEO college classes paid by the public high school.

As an aside, try the Case summer research program, or the one at the clinic. Both fabulous for medically oriented folks.
