<p>^ haha butterfly, i second that. it doesn’t look like deerfield rejected many people… their waitlist on the other hand looks pretty well-oiled :P</p>
<p>Don’t forget that kids on CC are generally very competitive applicants and thus why there are lots of waitlists versus rejections.</p>
<p>add me on the rejected list</p>

<p>and the waitlist just keeps growing…</p>
<p>pulsar, will you be attending hotchkiss or deerfield? congrats on getting into both schools :O</p>
<p>Thanks Dive. I would have to wait until after revisits. Each has programs that I really like.</p>
<p>For those who were admitted, what were your ssat scores, average grade, and some of the extracurricular activities you participate in.</p>

<p>Deerfield is a premier boarding school with a low 13.5% admit rate last year. Yes, it is hard to get in as it is also not a large school. Deerfield looks for candidates with strong academic record, extra-curricular, and athletic accomplishments. The average SSAT score of admitted candidates is 90%, so you should at least have an SSAT score above 80% to be competitive. Most students have straight A averages. In addition to a strong academic record and SSAT scores, you need to have some sort of hook in the form of leadership positions in your current school organizations, Math, Writing, and Science competition records, athletics, and a genuine record of service work. Spending 2 weeks in Africa during spring break doesnt cut it. Most of all, you need to bring in talents to fill the math team, debate team, orchestras, dance groups, or various sports. You also need to convince the AOs why you want to attend Deerfield and what contributions you can make to the Deerfield community. There is a lot of information on the Deerfield admission website. Request a catalog. Look through it and ask any questions you may have. Here is a Deerfield thread from the current admission cycle that has a lot of useful information. If you make it in, you will love it here. Deerfield is a special place. You will meet amazing people and have access to stellar academic, athletic, and EC opportunities. Good luck.</p>
