Is Andover just too competitive??

All of these schools will be as competitive as you want or need. They all offer “harder” and “easier” classes. They all offer “harder” and “easier” sports. They all offer many different types of clubs and activities. Honors track classes will be more demanding than non-honors track classes. Varsity sports are more competitive than thirds level teams. None of these schools would have extended an offer of admission if they didn’t think you can be successful.

I agree with the advice to attend the revisit days at each school. Try to get a feel for where you’ll be most comfortable in as a many different areas as possible. Academics, activities, student body, etc. Think about now, think about high school. As GMT says, this will be your “home” for a large chunk of the next few years.

All of these fine schools will leave you well prepared for college.

Good luck!
