Hello,
I got accepted into Choate and BB&N. Wait listed- Andover, Middlesex, Groton, Exeter.
Out of the two I got accepted to, which one is better? Pros and cons?
I do not know to much about Choate, but BB&N is an outstanding school! Great facilities, rigorous academics with loving teacher support. BB&N is also very athletic. If you play lots of sports I would say BB&N.
I’ve never heard of BB&N, but as a current Choate student, I would say that choosing to attend Choate is the best decision I’ve ever made. I guess it really depends on what you’re interested in pursuing, but I think Choate definitely has something for everyone. Whether you’re a dedicated athlete, a talented musician, or simply just someone who loves to learn, you’ll fit right in at Choate.
You cannot go wrong with either. Revisit both and see which one just feels right to you.
I agree with skieurope.
I know BB&N is excellent, but so is Choate.
Personally, the biggest difference would be the day vs. boarding, and maybe you wouldn’t like BBN being k-12 (I think?), but I’m not sure - I think they might separate the lower, middle, and upper schools into 3 campuses - you can see for yourself.
Finally, make the decision yourself, and not based on CC.
They do. The HS and MS campuses are 3/4 mile apart, unlike Milton. That should not really be a consideration IMO. Good luck!!
I would suggest you go to revisit days at both schools and see which one feels more comfortable. BB&N is a good school but the boarding experience can give you more if you are ready for that.
