The 2013 Hidden Gems Acceptance List

<p>@miamiu as a current freshman boarding at westover, i can 100% say all girls is the way to go! i was accepted to millbrook as well, and i went to both revisit days and was shocked by difference in the students at the schools. The girls at westover were (and are) so kind, warm, and passionate about academics, sports, and arts, while the kids at millbrook just seemed very board and in my opinion did not appear terribly interested in their studies or extra curriculars. Another thing I noticed at Millbrook was that there was very little diversity at the school (both racial and economical) while at westover more than half the students are on FA. So personally I would go all girls (I go to dances all the time at boys and girls schools and emma willard girls are always there, so don’t worry you still see boys). I did and I’m so glad I did. Every morning I wake up and roll out of bed because I don’t have to impress anyone and even though I have always been confident in the classroom, since coming to westover my confidence in class has gone through the roof.</p>
