I completely understand what you mean when you talk about a “cutthroat” environment but I think it’s important you thoroughly research the other top schools on your list. Practically all the schools on your list are rigorous in terms of academics and on the same level as Andover/Exeter. I do think some of the schools on your list are well-rounded which is good. I implore your cousin to add safety schools to his list because even people with the best stats can get rejected. Also, can you explain what you heard from people about andover/exeter’s culture?
