That's a tough decision, so focus on what you really want in a school. Go the revisit days and see what feels right.
I go to Andover if you have any questions feel free to post them or pm me. I can't add too much insight into the other schools since I've only been to Lawrenceville once and haven't been to Groton at all.

well, I don't know much about L'ville or Andover.I go to Groton. I love it...
I can only say pick the school which feels right
ie. do you want a big school(andover) vs a little school(groton)

I got this really awesome feeling at Groton. Its been my favorite but some say I should go to Andover

Listen to yourself. No one else should make this decision for you

SportyFool · 03-11-2008, 10:59 PM

SportyFool: Have you visited Lawrenceville? If so, what were your impressions?

SportyFool · 03-11-2008, 11:14 PM

I visited and liked it a lot. However my parents think that it is very sophisticated and that kids grow up too fast. It has great sports though

Revisit and go with your gut. Nobody except for you will know where you feel most comfortable.

SportyFool · 03-11-2008, 11:20 PM

ok. I think that I will figure it out. Hopefully!!!!

Bump... Yeah

Good luck on deciding! Congratulations on getting into those schools, too. Sorry, but the only one I've been to is Lawrenceville, which is so great. But, I'm sure that they are all awesome!

About Lawrenceville, I know some people there who definitely aren't over-sophisticated and who didn't grow up too fast, but I know there are a group of girls there who do (like most schools).

That being said, why "should" you go to Andover? Is it for the name? You can't go somewhere just for the name, and remember this. Among normal human beings, Andover is definitely more prestigious. However, among colleges (and possibly workplaces after college) I'm sure neither is more "prestigious" than the other.
