<p>Everyone's been talking about those "topper tier" schools!
I don't think EVERYONE on CC has been accepted to Exeter, Andover, Hotchkiss, Deerfield, Choate, etc-- or decides to go there.</p>
<p>So who's going where? </p>
<p>Fountain Valley-- :)
HOGWARTS-- !!</p>
<p>Idk… If Milton counts as not so mentioned I MAY be going.</p>
<p>Hmm…probably Concord Academy.</p>
<p>I’m going to either NMH or Worcester.
I got into cushing, williston, and berkshire as well but i don’t think i’m going to any of those.</p>
<p>I’m going to either Emma Willard or Putney…!!! :)</p>
<p>PEDDIE SCHOOL 
no one ever mentions it, its a really good school</p>
<p>Peddie or Emma Willard
can’t decide… what do you guys think?</p>
<p>I’m in at 3 HADES (HAE)</p>
<p>But also in at Groton and MX. MX isn’t discussed too often. Occasionally, but usually we focus on HADES.</p>
<p>I would by far go to either Groton or Andover, benev. I, by act of god, got into all HADES and Milton. I wish I had applied to Thacher, Choate, and Groton… though.</p>
<p>^What grade were you applying for?</p>
<p>Freshman. I am currently a freshman but skipped a grade and started a year early. We decided two years below is too much in a bs environment</p>
<p>Groton is great, but it’s so expensive. I’m a full pay. Andover, Exeter, and Hotchkiss are just as good, if not better than Groton.</p>
<p>I’d save like 40K if I choose Andover or Exeter. I just don’t want to break my parents bank.</p>
<p>@principal- where are you revisiting. I don’t see how you can count any of those schools out. They are far too good to decline admission to without at least visiting.</p>
<p>I personally am going to 5 revisit days…</p>
<p>I did not apply to Groton, is it really a lot more expensive?</p>
<p>There is NO WAY I can go to HADES and Milton revisit. I have, unfortunately, ruled out sps, deerfield, and possibly HK.</p>
<p>I should confirm this, but I think it was like 48K with all expenses added in.</p>
<p>A and E were around 40K</p>
<p>8-9K x 4 = 32-36K</p>
<p>Groton will probably increase its prices more than any other school during the 4 years I would be there</p>
<p>So in the end it would be like 40k. Like 4 years at UMASS, or like 1 year at a good college.</p>
<p>Have you really ruled out SPS, Deerfield, and Hotchkiss. If I were in your position I would rule out Milton and then revisit all HADES.</p>
<p>I, for some reason, loved Milton. HADES may be more regarded on this forum but in the world of college admissions just as well regarded (and looking at data, even better). I loved the courses and the campus.</p>
<p>Yeah, don’t listen to me. I don’t even know Milton. I don’t think that it is even fair for me to make that statement.</p>
<p>And yeah, Milton has impressive college matriculation.</p>
<p>Thanks. Good luck with wherever you plan on going. </p>
<p>Out of your list, though it is totally your choice and my opinion should be equated with an intoxicated bard’s stripper, I would go Andover.</p>
<p>I think I might be going to Peddie. Does the count as a somewhat lesser tier school? If I do go there, I’ll be choosing it over Lawrenceville, though, so I don’t really know if it is a lesser tier school. I told my mom it was in the 1.5 tier! lol</p>
<p>justbeingme</p>
<p>Haha – I totally agree Peddie is Tier 1.5!</p>
<p>Doesn’t have the history/pedigree of Tier 1, but IMO is definitely above Tier 2. I think you’d be making a good choice in Peddie – Let us know how re-visits go</p>
<p>im most likely going to miss porters
its my top choice and its completely freee!!! (2 merit scholarships + financial aid =D)
and thats definitely a second tier school…
i looked at andover and places like that but their music programs were…not the best…so i reallly like mps for that :)</p>
