<p>i got waitlisted at deerfield as an incoming sophomore,
and i really want to go there,
but i also got into kent
the only thing is that im not sure if thats as reputable of a school as deerfield
and i should just wait the waitlist out as long as i can</p>
<p>My D was accepted by DA. She is still debating between DA, SPS and Groton. All great schools. She is a leaning towards going to DA.</p>
<p>Hey, I was accepted, and I'm most likely going...still debating between A and D</p>
<p>My son is going to revisit DA on April 4 but is 99.9% sure he will accept. He told me to relate that he hopes to meet any incoming 9th grade lax players then.</p>
<p>I got accepted as an incoming sophomore but am not sure whether I'll be going. Still deciding between DA, Exeter, Andover and Hotchkiss. Anyone have any advice?</p>
<p>hey i think there are only about ten 2012 girls on the DA waitlist... i am one of them</p>
<p>fingers crossed!</p>
<p>What happens if you accept and give deposit (nonrefundable) to one school and then in May/June hear from the waitlist you are still on. Can you drop out and just loose your deposit?</p>
<p>xxxxxxxxxx</p>
<p>It's not just a deposit; your parents sign a contract. Read the contract very carefully. They could be liable for the full tuition, not just the deposit.</p>
<p>btw, did everyone who got accepted to deerfield receive a poster and green m&m's?</p>
<p>I didn't actually, lol what kind of poster?</p>
<p>yea.. I got mine in the mail yesterday! it's just a poster of their campus..pretty though</p>
<p>Waitlisted at DA. According to all the tomes and bibles written about prep school, calling the school and asking approximately how many kids are on the list and what third of the list you are in is completly OK. Don't brown nose it though. The admissions officer might drop you down on the list for brown nosing. lol :-)</p>
<p>Loved the poster and M&Ms just in time for St. Pats day...just wrote a check for the deposit...PS: his parent would not like to lose a deposit, and some schools ask for twice as much down as DA</p>
<p>Balletgirl,
I got my results today,
And I was also waitlisted for Deerfield.
I am probably going to hold my spot.
so that makes 11 :)</p>
<p>:) 12....im waitlisted and im also going to hold my spot...</p>
<p>btw...the "25 students/grade" is for andover</p>
<p>I think the waitlist is pretty slim.<br>
the data suggests:
Deerfield: 1753 applied, 360 accepted, 201 enrolled for last year.
Thus they accept 160 (> 50%) of what they enroll. For them to go to waitlist, over 160 would need to decline admission.</p>
<p>The Letter Was From Gimbel, And Says, " Our Wait List Is Comprised Of A Small Number Of Select Candidates" i do not know how many is small number.
i was accepted by a couple of safety schools. but I like DF. but i don;t think i can count on the luck. i am waitlisted on 4 schools choate, deerfield, groton, hotchkiss. In the past they accepted a good number of arabian students because their school head was Arabian and ing of Jordan went to that school.</p>
<p>Hi BalletGirl.
Where did you get the information that there are only 10 girls on the 2012 list?</p>
<p>First Post. :)</p>
