Deerfield Waitlist

<p>Does anyone else got waitlisted by Deerfield? I got WL for year 11 and wanna know how big my chance would be. Does DA send loads of waitlist letters to people who didn't get accepted?</p>

<p>yes, they send a fair amount of wait list letters but, with this in mind, so do all schools for the most part. don’t give up home! :)</p>

<p>Well. Thanks so much :slight_smile:
this is my second time applying to Deerfield and I got a little bit frustrated when I received the decision letter. I got accepted by NMH and rejected by Peddie and Lawrenceville. </p>

<p>What should I do in the meanwhile?</p>

<p>keep on hoping! don’t give up!</p>

<p>whatever happens, you’ll always end up somewhere where you’ll be happy =)</p>

<p>hootoo WL’ed @ Deerfield
but accepted by Exeter and Milton, rejected by SPS
Still waiting for Andover – no Fedex, no snail mail either</p>

<p>What grade are you going into hootoo?</p>

<p>hootoo is going to the 9th grade.</p>

<p>I got waitlisted too :(</p>

<p>hootoo will return the post card to ask being removed from the waiting list tomorrow.</p>

<p>I got waitlisted as well. I applied for grade 11</p>

<p>thanks hootoo :slight_smile: lol just a litttlllee bit closer!</p>

<p>yeah me and my twin were also waitlisted by deerfield
rejected so far at exeter and sps
but for 9th grade not eleventh</p>

<p>I got waitlisted at Deerfield.</p>

<p>I also got waitlisted for deerfield =(</p>

<p>@pepperjke: You and your twin received the same results from 3 schools?</p>

<p>I haven’t heard from any school other than Exeter yet. That’s normal, right, since I live in GA? It wouldn’t come so quickly, right?</p>

<p>-clings onto hope-</p>

<p>I’m waitlisted at Deerfield too, 11th grade.</p>

<p>@MaterS: actually me and my twin got the same results from 8 schools, is that unusual? Oh well, I know that it would’ve been horrible if one of us got in and the other didn’t. I’m just happy that I have someone to wallow with :)</p>

<p>

<p>Well, the result is what I would have expected, thus usual. Twins are AO’s worst nightmare! Are you sure the one who walked into an interview is the right one? How can any AO say yes to one but turn around and say no to its exact copy? So they decide to play smart so to speak, either accept or reject you two at the same time. At least they get the consistency working :/)</p>

<p>So would you call it a good sign that we got waitlisted at Deerfield because it means that they saw something they liked in the both of us considering that it is hard accepting twins. I wonder if a spot did open up if they would let in both or only one of us because it is only one extra person.</p>
