People Who Attend Prep Schools!

We’re talking about schools here that offer upwards of 60 extracurricular-type activities each, not to mention all of the elective community service that goes on off-campus. I don’t go to either of the schools yet, but what I can tell you is this: neither Andover nor Exeter would call their student bodies narrow. Both schools have students from across the US and from 30+ different countries around the world - students who participate in every activity imaginable and have every conceivable interest.

There are only a few criteria that all (or the great majority) students at the schools you mentioned adhere to:


They are academically strong
They participate in extracurriculars dedicatedly and/or at a high level
They are intellectual and interesting to talk to.


The moral of the story is that there is no particular mould that these schools require or recruit to; you need to carve your own path and show that you are successful at doing so.
