[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Andover.

Yes, kids there are very smart. No, of course they aren’t the only smart kids out there.

However, Andover is extremely rigorous. It’s basically a junior college. The preparation for college is therefore excellent.

Of course, there are also legacies and such, but don’t discount the importance of excellent preparation.[/quote]

Andover selects students the same way as harvard.  it is not a surprise that they send a lot of students there.

Wealthy legacies.
Top athletes in country club sports with decent academics.
Extremely intelligent students with no other hooks.

Combine that with the long history and relationship between the two as well as the geographic preference and it's not a surprise.

Yes, Andover provides great preparation for college but it's not really much better than the prep at any of the Big 3 in the DC area.[/quote]

Look at the course of study at Andover and tell me any school in this area can touch it:

Andover also has a renowned American Art museum and archeology museum. Students can study at those museums and do extensive research projects there.

Sorry — there’s just no comparison.
