菲利普斯学校安多佛

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! 如果有用不要忘记点赞哈

PEA自己说每年0 -15个，取决于每年状况。

参考一下扎克伯格的例子，11年级纽约Ardsley转学到Exeter，之前两年高中非全A，没有SAT，但数学和历史(古典学)成绩突出，体育参与一般，但极度热爱编程，已开发出几款软件并成立公司。总结：学业上、背景有突出亮点，其余没硬伤。另外，他之所以转学，是社交上有问题（被视作怪胎并受欺负）。 中高年级转顶级学校，基本标化和GPA权重很小，要看你突出的部分能为学校带来什么

中高年级转顶级学校，标化和GPA权重很小，要看你突出的特色能为学校带来什么。 参考一下扎克伯格的例子，11年级纽约Ardsley转学到Exeter，之前两年高中非全A，没有SAT，但数学和历史(古典学)成绩突出，体育参与一般，但极度热爱编程，已开发出几款软件并成立公司。总结：学业上、背景有突出亮点，其余没硬伤。另外，他之所以转学，是社交上有问题（被视作怪胎并受欺负）。

这位家长您好： 估计Phillips Academy Andover 今年总申请人数比以往都多不少，其中包括了很多美国当地的学生以及南美的留学生。Phillips Academy Andover 11年级录取的学生非常非常少，要求也极为严苛，需要学生有很强的SAT成绩，学术和课外活动背景。对于留学生来说录取率是很低的，不建议申请11年级哦。

当然有很多不同，我们有一个数据表，至少有大概30多项的不同，这里举些例子：（1）三所学校的地域位置不同，俗话说，位置位置还是位置；（2）三所学校STEM厉害度完全不同，Groton和Andover不是一个档次的STEM学校。比如参加少年诺贝奖之称的雷杰纳隆的科学比赛安多佛是最起劲的学校了，年年有进入前40的，今年也不例外，学校科研设施和做研究的环境一流，堪比大学水平，特别是生物学课的研究，进入分子生物学水准。所以从录取STEM拔尖的大学，比如麻省理工，加州理工，哈维穆德，斯坦福，Groton几乎16-20年是没有的。但是安多福很多，Exeter也是不落其后，故此就是可以看出这些学校的不同了。 补充到，如果你查看niche 排名，Stem排名7880所学校，安多佛是第4，但是Exeter是第8，Groton是第33了。这是很大的不同的。反映到升学上STEM厉害的学校升学没有。所以理工男Groton不一定很有优势，但是安多佛和Exeter就太棒了！文课法律上那么三所学校各有千秋了。

同学你好，根据你提供的信息，The Hill，Kent，Westminster，Dana Hall这四所学校机会非常大，其他的学校今年竞争实在太激烈，机会多大最终还是要看你和学校的匹配度，另外还要讲究是否有运气。
