I was accepted to both schools - I really wanted a Quaker school and love the commnity service side at both schools. I can see all the obvious differences ie George is only 9-12, has IB/AP, Westtown no AP, all 11th and 12th are boarders, but does anyone have any inside knowledge?
I don’t want to do the full IB diploma as I want more options in art than that would give - will that look weak on college apps as I am not taking “the most rigorous course the school offers”?
Does one have a much better reputation academically than the other?
Will I get more interesting experiential learning opportunities at one or the other?

PLEASE help if you know anything about either/both!
