<p>Hey everyone, I am currently debating on whether I should apply to Deerfield or Choate for Junior year, so I thought: what better place to go than CC for help. I just have a few questions i hope you guys could answer:</p>
<p>Which school usually admits more juniors?</p>
<p>Which school has a more welcoming environment?</p>
<p>And lastly</p>
<p>What types of vibes do both schools give off?</p>
<p>Thank you all for your time,</p>

<p>haha, you realize that these 2 schools are intense rivals. Good luck getting objective answers about this particular comparison from the students that go there ;-)</p>
<p>If you want to know about the vibe of the campuses, best for you to go visit the campuses yourself.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know they are rivals, but I like them both a lot, so that wont really affect my decision.</p>
<p>If you like them both, then apply to both. It’s not like either is a sure-thing for admission. And unless you live very, very away, you will probably be required to visit the schools, anyway.</p>
<p>The reason I am not applying to both, is because I already have several other schools on my list which I am 100% sure I want to apply to, but I am undecided which of these two schools will fill in the last slot.</p>
<p>If both schools are a low on your list and you can only apply to one, then strategically, I would pick Choate. It has a more forgiving admission rate, and it seems they actually draw from their wait list.</p>
<p>I was also leaning towards Choate, it has a larger student body, and a slightly higher acceptance rate.</p>
