You forgot Deerfield Academy...otherwise looks like a pretty comprehensive list of top schools. I read this twice, but still can't find the reference to muffins...?

Give a close look at Andover. We have an incredible community service program. Tons of kids on campus are involved.

@J24601J THANK YOU!

IŽll look forward to it, IŽm already starting my candidate profile for Andover, which actually is my first (and most desired) option. Hopefully IŽll be having my interview on campus soon

Again, Thanks!
