<p>Also every Friday during the winter, the headmaster hands out cookies and cocoa. And there’s a cafe in the Science building and a grill/ snack bar in the gym (“The Greer”) with very good food and snacks-- which you can buy on your “Greer card.”</p>
<p>HOW could I forget about the Greer? Thanks @daykidmom. DA student always joke around while off campus asking “Can I use my Greer card?” or "Do you take Greer cards?"LOL The Greer is a great place with really good food that may not be healthy but it’s damn good. I miss the chicken fingers and French fries:-/ and the mango smoothies!!!haha
Greer cards are very important and students basically always carry them in case they want to make a stop at a store cafe or if people are selling t-shirts it goes on the card!</p>
<p>Thanks so much! Now I’m really excited for the application process! I really hope I get in!</p>

<p>Wait, one more question, what’s the dress code?</p>
<p>Class dress: Boys: no jeans or cargo pants. Button shirt, tie, blazer, except in winter, when can do turtleneck and blazer or button shirt, tie, and sweater-- no fleece, no hoodies. Girls : dresses, skirts, pants, shorts all ok, no jeans. No bare shoulders or low-cut tops. Supposed to have two layers on top (shirt and cardigan, sweater, or blazer). No hoodies or fleeces. Skirts aren’t supposed to be TOO short. In practice, boys follow dress code, girls often do not (skirts are short and no one says anything, some jeans are worn, they don’t always have two layers). Overall, though, they still look neat. Deerfield tradition: NO rules about shoes, so very common look for boys is nice shorts, button- down shirt, tie, blazer, flip-flops. </p>
<p>Also-- relaxed dress for walk-through meals (Wednesday, Friday, Saturday dinners, Wednesday lunch, more meals in Winter, Some Friday classes in winter). </p>
<p>Thanks! </p>
<p>bump! summer is slipping away!</p>
<p>My journey to DA starts pretty soon! I can’t believe I’ll be starting senior year in a matter of DAys!
See what I did there? </p>
<p>…still no questions? None at all??</p>
<p>Hi! I’m applying to Deerfield this year, and I wanted to know if you have ever met someone at Deerfield with an SSAT scores of 76- 83rd percentile? I’m very worried about actually making it into Deerfield. Do you think they accept people with pretty low SSAT scores? Thanks!</p>
<p>Hey so I’m new to the forum but am a new DA freshman and would be happy to help answer questions about DA!</p>
<p>@Swimchick8 i think i know who you are ._. </p>
<p>Hi, I was wondering if Deerfield was cliquey. Do all the jocks hang out with the jocks and the theatre people hang out with theatre people. Or is it all mixed up.</p>
<p>@bschoolsearcher For the most part, friend groups are pretty mixed. Between classes, your dorm, and all the different extracurricular activities, you meet a lot of different kids. I mean, if you do three terms of theater, obviously you will have more friends surrounding that area. But it’s really not as bad as I thought it was gonna be.</p>

<p>@superwholockfan So I’m pretty sure our average ssat score in somewhere in the high 80s. Which means there are people who probably gets 83s. I’m not so sure about below 75 if you are a recruited athlete or really exceptional. But don’t lose hope! Your ssat scores are only part of the equation.</p>
@ehphant hello! What do girls generally wear? (the brands, styles, etc.) Do we get to pick whether we want a roommate?
@Ehphant: I’m curious about the dress code for girls as well, especially about the two-layer at the neckline requirement. Thanks!
