Conclusion of my tours

Well, I've toured all of the "good" schools in Minnesota.

Minnesota Schools:
Pros:
-I'd be at home

Cons:
-They act as babysitting for older kids
-No APs at most
-"hard" english load is to read 6 books each semester. I read 7 books a week

Out of State Boarding schools
Pros:
-Great Teachers (think Zuming Feng)
-Great Courses, lots of APs
-Great environment, lots of smart kids

Cons:
-Away from home

So I think I'll be applying to Exeter and Andover with Noble (maybe, long story*) as a safety.


*The long story:
I was talking to my friend in Boston about how I might meet him when I go tour Exeter and Andover (from now on E&A). So he said that he goes to Noble & Greenough (from now on N&G). It was a pretty good school and I would get in no matter what, because they always want more boarding students (so he said). Plus he said that he could be my host family if I went (cool kid + Indian food!). So I might make it my safety.
