Don't look back. It is not a trait that will help you in life.
Enjoy what you have coming to you at L'ville and don't worry about what could be different, because if don't end up being happy at L'ville, you can't know that it would be any different at Andover.
And if you are still confused, remember what Yogi said. "If I come to a fork in the road, I'll pick it up." He wisely never second guessed his decisions.

One other suggestion, if you are going to stay on the waitlist for now, you might want to pick a date that you will go off the waitlist. It will be hard for you to move forward about L'ville if you are still waiting to hear from Andover and it is August.

Andover over-accepted this year, something I know because it has made housing hell for me. Don't count on the wait-list, but congratulations if oyu get off of it!

Yes, I am pretty sure that they aren't accepting ANYONE off the waitlist this year. Unlike some schools, they are over-enrolled by more than a bit. I heard this from a very prominent donator to Andover.
Accept your reality; it isn't half-bad.  | |

well, i guess i haven't been here in a while...but a lot has happened since then :]
in short, i was recently accepted off the waitlist, and i've decided to go to andover instead. thanks for everyone's input!
by not accepting people off the waitlist, were you referring to 9th or 10th grade? i'm going into 10th next year; sorry if i failed to mention that...

This just goes to show you that mother knows best! (And don't you ever forget it!)
Congratulations!
EDIT: Didn't see that ops beat me to the "mother knows best" comment, but I'm keeping it because it's worth repeating.

ahh! thank you so much, everyone!! i'll be looking forward to going!
as for mom knows best...actually, i didn't just decide right off the bat from her lecturing and research. i contacted a few people at andover (a senior and a teacher who was, as we found out, a college mate of my mom's) and their descriptions really changed my viewpoint. i know that my interview with andover was the first i ever attempted with any school, so i didn't really get much from it, so lawrenceville seemed comparable, but...
...still, mom knows best. | |

Go Big Blue! (I've been yelling that a lot lately; the combined record for our spring varsity sports teams this year is 90 wins - 22 losses!)
