選Offer My son got offers from Peddie School as a boarding student this fall. He also has been accepted to the Singapore American School (day school), as we are living in Singapore. We as parents would like to have a better understanding of the educational outcomes of both schools. Going to top universities in the US is my son's goal. Many thanks! ( 3個(gè)offer )

Andover and Exeter are related. Different members of the same family founded each school. Samuel Phillips founded Andover in 1778; his Uncle, John Phillips, founded Exeter in 1781, Hence, Andover is known as Phillips Academy (PA), and Exeter is called Phillips Exeter Academy (PEA). Andover and Exeter are also connected in the public imagination. In an episode of the Simpsons, a salesman at a fund raiser tries to sell Homer a t-shirt for the local school his children attend. When Homer refuses to buy that t-shirt because he does not want to be associated with that local school, the vendor says that his two best-selling t-shirts are "Phillips Springfield Andover" and "Phillips Springfield Exeter." As for Andover and Exeter, the important question is not which is the better school. It is which is the better school for you. That's a question of fit, and only you can answer that question for yourself. Some differences between Andover and Exeter are: A. Andover divides its dorms into five clusters; at Exeter, students typically remain in the same dorm until they graduate. B. Andover has a 1-6 grading system; Exeter has a 1-11 grading system. C. Andover offers need blind financial aid that admits applicants regardless of their financial background; Exeter is need aware. However, Exeter offers generous financial aid. D. Andover has one central dining hall; Exeter has two dining halls. E. Andover has fewer Saturday classes than Exeter. F. Exeter has a dress code; Andover does not. G. Last year, Andover had a lower admit rate, a higher yield, and (I believe) better college matriculation statistics than Exeter. Nevertheless, Exeter is extremely difficult to get into, very popular, and does exceptionally well in placing students into top colleges. H. Exeter prides itself on the Harkness Method (student centered discussions), which it typically uses in all classes, including Math and Science; Andover stresses critical thinking as well but does so through a wide range of teaching approaches that generally do not include the Harkness Method in Math or Science. I. Some people think Exeter has a nicer campus than Andover; others prefer Andover's campus. Both campuses are very nice. J. Some people say that Andover is better in the humanities than Exeter and that Exeter is better in Math and Science than Andover. I don't buy that theory. Both schools are generally excellent in all fields. K. Andover is closer to Boston than Exeter. Good luck! 如果有用不要忘記點(diǎn)贊哈

這位家長(zhǎng)您好: 估計(jì)Phillips Academy Andover 今年總申請(qǐng)人數(shù)比以往都多不少,其中包括了很多美國(guó)當(dāng)?shù)氐膶W(xué)生以及南美的留學(xué)生。Phillips Academy Andover 11年級(jí)錄取的學(xué)生非常非常少,要求也極為嚴(yán)苛,需要學(xué)生有很強(qiáng)的SAT成績(jī),學(xué)術(shù)和課外活動(dòng)背景。對(duì)于留學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)錄取率是很低的,不建議申請(qǐng)11年級(jí)哦。

當(dāng)然有很多不同,我們有一個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)表,至少有大概30多項(xiàng)的不同,這里舉些例子:(1)三所學(xué)校的地域位置不同,俗話(huà)說(shuō),位置位置還是位置;(2)三所學(xué)校STEM厲害度完全不同,Groton和Andover不是一個(gè)檔次的STEM學(xué)校。比如參加少年諾貝獎(jiǎng)之稱(chēng)的雷杰納隆的科學(xué)比賽安多佛是最起勁的學(xué)校了,年年有進(jìn)入前40的,今年也不例外,學(xué)??蒲性O(shè)施和做研究的環(huán)境一流,堪比大學(xué)水平,特別是生物學(xué)課的研究,進(jìn)入分子生物學(xué)水準(zhǔn)。所以從錄取STEM拔尖的大學(xué),比如麻省理工,加州理工,哈維穆德,斯坦福,Groton幾乎16-20年是沒(méi)有的。但是安多福很多,Exeter也是不落其后,故此就是可以看出這些學(xué)校的不同了。 補(bǔ)充到,如果你查看niche 排名,Stem排名7880所學(xué)校,安多佛是第4,但是Exeter是第8,Groton是第33了。這是很大的不同的。反映到升學(xué)上STEM厲害的學(xué)校升學(xué)沒(méi)有。所以理工男Groton不一定很有優(yōu)勢(shì),但是安多佛和Exeter就太棒了!文課法律上那么三所學(xué)校各有千秋了。

同學(xué)你好,根據(jù)你提供的信息,The Hill,Kent,Westminster,Dana Hall這四所學(xué)校機(jī)會(huì)非常大,其他的學(xué)校今年競(jìng)爭(zhēng)實(shí)在太激烈,機(jī)會(huì)多大最終還是要看你和學(xué)校的匹配度,另外還要講究是否有運(yùn)氣。
