Hey Guys, I’m considering applying to Andover as a lower. And as parents of kids who attend, I was kind of hoping you could help me out a little bit. I really want to apply, but my previous grades aren’t the best becuase I’ve had four open heart surgeries, six cardiac catheterizations and 2 EP studies. Will this hurt my chance of admission? I’m 14 and am going to be a freshman this fall. My grades are great, I volunteer at a retirement home. I play Guitar, piano, organ, and sitar. I write poetry, and I have found a potential cure for cystic fibrosis. I also have strong reccomendations from my teachers and colleagues(I do some work at hospitals locally) Do I stand a chance around Andover’s admission table? Please help! Thankyou so much.
