<p>Hi!
Just thought it’d be interesting to know where you’re all applying to (I know there’s already a thread for this, but wait, there’s more) and the order of preference… like where’d you wanna go the most if you got in all.</p>
<p>So, I’ll go first… </p>
<li>Phillips Academy Andover</li>
<li>St. Paul’s School</li>
<li>Phillips Exeter Academy</li>
</ol>
<p>Post your lists!!! :)</p>
<ol>
<li>Choate Rosemary Hall</li>
<li>Phillips Exeter Academy</li>
<li>Phillips Academy Andover</li>
<li>Northfield Mount Hermon</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Phillips Academy Exeter</li>
<li>Phillips Academy</li>
<li>Deerfield Academy</li>
<li>St. Paul's School</li>
<li>Concord Academy</li>
<li>Groton School</li>
</ol>
<p>Top Choices:</p>
<p>Middlesex
SPS (no chance)
Hotchkiss (no chance)</p>
<p>2nd Choices:</p>
<p>Groton School
Phillips Andover (no chance)
Phillips Exeter (no chance</p>
<p>Third Choices:</p>
<p>Brooks
Governors</p>
<p>I would LOVE to go to any of these schools!</p>
<p>benevolent, I am curious about why you think you have no chance at SPS, Hotchkiss, Andover or Exeter, but you do at Groton. Do you think you are a particularly good fit for Groton, or that Groton is somehow easier to gain admission to than the others?</p>
<p>Groton is just as hard to get into as the HADES schools. So unless you are a legacy or something it should be equally as hard as the rest.</p>
<p>Groton is harder to get into than most of the other schools; their acceptance rate is 18%.</p>
<p>Perhaps the applicant was rushed through the other applications and felt the app was lacking in something, while with Groton, they took the time.. ? Haha, wild guess. Groton's a great school, but it's tiny and starts in 8th (starting at a tiny school 1 year late.. nty!)</p>
<ol>
<li>Exeter!</li>
<li>Hotchkiss</li>
<li>Andover</li>
<li>Lawrenceville (?)</li>
<li>Loomis
6/7. Blair/NMH
For next year, anyways :)</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li> Blair (fit)</li>
<li> St. George's (low reach)</li>
<li> Lawrenceville (reach)</li>
<li> Newark Academy (Day School) (safety)</li>
</ol>
<p>I only applied two places, Milton and Tabor.</p>
<p>1/2 Thacher/ Asheville -- Love both xD</p>
<p>3/4 FVS/ NMH -- like both :)</p>
<p>Have no clue as to chances, etc.
& I would just be grateful to attend any of them!</p>
<p>In response to neatoburrito,</p>
<p>I had an amazing interview at Groton... well at least compared to my other interviews. I also have a hook at Groton (but only there.) I can't really explain it because of privacy issues. And then something amazing happened that has to do with Groton. I don't think that it would be safe to mention it though...</p>
<p>Oh, OK! You're smart for not divulging too much information. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<ol>
<li>Phillips Exeter Academy (yes, it feels strange to refer to it by its full name, not PEA or Exeter)</li>
<li>Phillips Academy, Andover (once again, weird!)</li>
</ol>
<p>I think I have the same odds as everyone else: +-20%, but I also have a few hooks at both, so maybe it's more like 25%, haha!</p>
