请各位老师、家长和学长帮忙比较下列两个offer: St. Andrew's(De)和Peddie。
理想美高:学校氛围宽容活泼、管理严格(本人有点贪玩)、注重个性培养、生物方面学术上有优势更好。学校体育方面因素不用考虑(已和校队教练确认为student athlete)。
女,9升9,托福110+(首考、没刷过题),SSAT99%,运动员,文理均衡,偏爱生物。成熟度在同龄人中属正常水平,绝对达不到成熟度很高(比如自律性、思考深度等)。但由于长期参与团队运动,适应外出集训、比赛这样的集体生活,爱热闹、喜交往、坚强、适应能力强。校内成绩优秀,记忆力好,学东西快,但不算学霸(没有什么学术上的竞赛奖项,周末假期都在训练、比赛,基本没上过补习班和培训班)。希望向生物方向发展。

    总体而言,半斤八两吧,看个人喜好。Peddie不是很了解,不敢瞎点评。SAS我熟悉一些,肯定是偏文的学校,但是中国毕业生也有数学大牛进MIT的,也有生物方面和老师共同开展课程设计研究最终进宾大的,学校在管理方面非常严格,比如手机,作为全寄宿高中,规定上课期间手机不能离开宿舍,晚上睡眠期间手机不能进宿舍。

    这两个学校PEDDIE更强一些,学习压力也大,看孩子更倾向于哪一个。在高中学习中GPA非常重要,如果有C出现未来藤校就很难有机会了。所以要做好衡量,多了解一些信息,和一些校友进行沟通

    恭喜录取,Peddie的学术上是偏向比较严格的,但是stem项目很好,如果孩子喜欢的是生物的话,可以考虑一下挑战自己去peddie,毕竟严师出高徒。而且Peddie是游泳项目在整个NJ都属于校队很拔尖的,也有参加奥运会的学生。两者不分伯仲,看个人喜好。

    你好,建议选Peddie,不过两个学校学习压力都很大。

    我想把Peddie一位学生的介绍提供您参考:

    Sorry for taking so long to answer. Peddie just started long weekend, so it was a little crazy.
    I’m gonna do my best to answer these. I should have told you upfront, I’m a freshman, so my knowledge is limited.

    I don’t take AP, so I wouldn’t know. Most of the studying at Peddie is self-studying, as there’s never really anyone standing over you making sure you study. But people care about their future interests. (Sorry for the non-specific answer, I just don’t know a lot about how people study.)

    I'm a part of neither of those clubs, so I only know what I've heard from word of mouth. Almost every club is mainly student-ran. The Model UN has been very active this year, they went on a trip to a conference in Hershey, PA. The debate club hasn't done much that I've heard of, but they do meet. I don't know if there have been any interscholastic debates this year, either.
    To be honest, there isn't a divide between day students and boarders. I have friends who are day students and friends who are boarders. I don't usually group them like that, Day students can still go on SNAs (Saturday Night Activities) and they do. I just went on an SNA with some of my friends to see Ready Player One. There was a day student there, and they weren't treated differently or anything.
    I'll be honest, PFS (Peddie Food Service) isn't the... favorite of every Peddie Student. I think they do fine. They make a lot of different food for a lot of different people. Because Lunch is ~50 minutes (From getting out of classes to start of next class) there are some people who go off campus and get Mannino's (Pizza Place near Peddie, probably 4 minute walk from campus.) But the line is pretty long when PFS makes chicken nuggets or chicken cheddar wraps.
    Everyone is academically focused here. It's a boarding school. There are people who are more focused and people who are less focused academically, but we're all very academic. Some people do come in thinking that it will be like a summer camp, but those people get a rude awakening. That being said, I don't think Peddie is very cutthroat, and you have a lot of people waiting to help you if you need help. Your adviser, your teachers, they care a lot here.
    It's different with different people. To some, Sports/PA/Theatre is the saving grace at the end of a hard day, to some, it's a chore that they have to do on top of schoolwork. I'm somewhere in the middle, but I do believe there is something for everyone to do. If you come in as a freshman (or a sophomore, I think) you have to take an interscholastic sport for your first term so you can acclimate to being at Peddie. I know that that helped me to get a group of friends, even if I didn't end up staying with them, being on thirds soccer did help me make a few friends. (I was a goalie)
    Some people do, some people don't. You are allowed to connect to the Wi-Fi, but you won't be allowed to use them in some classes, because you need special software for them. Also, we have what's called FalconAlert, which tells us if there's some kind of drill going on. It'll make a loud, obnoxious noise, and the message will scroll across the bottom of the screen. You won't be able to get that on your personal laptop. You can, but it is in no way necessary to bring your own computer.
    I'm not a big history buff or anything, but I've enjoyed my Humanities class. My teacher is the main reason why. He's a really cool person, and he's just super passionate about the subject. He came from the Princeton religion department to Peddie, and that still astounds me, but also it doesn't. I mean, the man knows how to read Coptic. I didn't even know what Coptic was until he read it. In terms of the whole class, Humanities is a really in depth look at the society of the early world. We're right now focusing on early Christianity, and it's beginnings as a Jewish sect. We're learning things that even the Christians of our class didn't know. I really enjoy the class. We do have separate departments for History and English, so it's hard to get down the functions of the two departments. I did want to bring that up, because it seems like you think that we only have a humanities department.
    Try new things. You may find a passion. At Peddie, I found I love writing, when in middle school, I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. I also found that I love video editing, and I've been doing fun projects in Adobe Premiere Pro, which comes on Peddie Laptops (which is a w e s o m e)

    同学你好!一般我们判断哪个学校更适合你会从两个角度出发,一个是看学校的优势和强项,一个看你自身的性格和强项。这里我们主要分析学校的优势和强项,您可以再结合自身的情况来作出选择。

    St. Andrew’s(DE)和 Peddie 在排名和等级水平上都差不多, 学术方面也都是非常强的。但是各自在学术方面还是有所侧重。相对而言,St. St. Andrew’s(DE) 偏文科一些,Peddie 则偏理一些,这从学校课程的特色项目也可以看得出来。St. Andrew’s(DE)注重拓展学生的人文历史视野,偏向招灵活性比較强,有创造力的学生,希望学生通过多元的对话,实地学习经验,以及 Advanced Study 等对复杂问题形成真正的理解和独立思考,从而成为终身学习者。Peddie 在学术方面则会更加严格,Research Science Signature Experience (EXP) 科学研究项目可以让对 science 感兴趣的学生得到更多的学习机会和支持。从学术上来说, Peddie 对于你未来想往生物方向发展是更有利的。

    恭喜恭喜!都是一流、都是A+。难分伯仲。我孩子的导师即来自特拉华州。仅仅从排名、出入便捷度看,Peddie排名高一点点、更靠近纽约一点点。

    看看个人对哪个更有眼缘吧(因为不能实地走访,实在遗憾)。

    想提醒一点:这些强校,都不会管你体育比赛那些事。参加所有比赛,你都得自理——这跟国内“外出集训、比赛这样的集体生活”,完全不搭界。美高的集体生活,不是这样的。因此,你得在确保不脱课的情况下,去训练、比赛。否则,你的GPA,不会因你是运动员、比赛成绩好,而网开一面。任课老师完全不会给你这个“通融”。你得有足够心理准备。
