<p>I just wanted to start a thread for any applicants that are applying for the 11th grade in Fall 2012. There aren't many of us on here so it would be great if we could share our experiences/knowledge as we go through the process. It's definitely very different from the younger grades.</p>

<p>Starting the conversation - I was a late applicant last year in April. I got waitlisted (Andover, Deerfield) because there was no space. Looks like I'm going through everything all over again... Although, I've gone through it once already, so I'm not as in freak-out mode this year :)</p>

<p>I am applying for 11th grade too. Where are you from and what school are you applying to? I want to apply to some east coast schools, (Deerfield, Choate, Andover, Loomis Chaffee) but also Cate in CA.</p>

<p>Applying for 11th too. Right now definitely applying to Deerfield (dream school). Also debating applying to Exeter, Andover, Peddie, NMH, and Milton.</p>

<p>So nervous!!! Although convincing my parents is going to be a task of its own.</p>

<p>I read that at Andover roughly 25 students are excepted into the 11th grade annually! </p>

<p>Scary, right!?</p>

<p>I thought it was 40 though. Or maybe that was Exeter…</p>
