Was wondering my chances for Deerfield and loomis
Deerfield needs a bass clarinetist ( which I am) I’ve had 3 family members go to Deerfield. One is attending now and I am a URM. Mom is Jamaican from Jamaica and my dad is Italian from the US. The URM hook only applies to looms but all of the hooks apply to Deerfield. CHANCE ME!!!

I believe the average SSAT score for Loomis is 75%, while Deerfield is at 85%. You’re below the range but you have amazing hooks. Regardless, definitely study hard and retake the SSAT in January.
As for your chances (I’m an applicant for those schools but have plenty of close friends attending both of those schools), I’d say it’s likely. You have the hooks, now work on achieving amazing grades and aiming for the 80’s in the SSAT.
Also, a cousin legacy doesn’t count. So you only have a sibling relationship and another alumni.
Deerfield treats the SSAT pretty seriously, and a 73 definitely doesn’t look that great. However, with your hooks, you can definitely pull it off.
Just don’t treat getting into boarding school like it’s a do or die. Treat it seriously, but don’t kill yourself trying to get in. You’ve already made like 3 chance threads.
