<p>Does it? I visited, but I didn’t see the cemetery at Deerfield.</p>
<p>SPS has a cemetary, too.</p>
<p>@mrnephew We only saw it 'cause we got lost and drove right by Admissions. I remember someone saying that Deerfield has poor signage…</p>
<p>Some sort of trend going on here, there is one near The Hill School also.</p>
<p>Must be all those kids they say were expelled…</p>
<p>And of course, there are cemeteries at Andover and Choate, too.</p>
<p>You guys are so funny. :)</p>
<p>…and your comment about us being funny made me laugh, PhotoMom! What goes around, comes around.</p>
<p>Are you related to photodad? I mean… yeah.</p>
<p>Nope, I was wrong. They’re the kids who were waitlisted and were dying to get in.</p>
<p>I absolutely love you stargirl. I’m laughing my head off right now.</p>
<p>Ha!! That was great. Yeah, Deerfield has bad signs.</p>
<p>Creds to my mom for that last one, but I love you too. 
And so does my mom! <3</p>
<p>Thacher is without a doubt my favorite. I absolutely love it. Could someone chance me? I realize that I will obviously have to wait for March 10th, but if someone could give me an idea of where I stand that would be great. I am also applying to Loomis Chaffee.</p>
<p>I have all As with two B pluses last year (which I explained in my interviews). I am a Student Ambassador, tutor a fifth grader each week in math, tour guide at my school, volunteer at a school in the fifth ward, volunteered last year at Kid’s Meals, run a website for suicide awareness, have high honors, scored seventh in the NFS, was runner-up for student council president last year, and am involved in two of our biggest academic projects this year. I play polo and field hockey. I am also on the swim team and compete in saddleseat. I have various awards in that discipline and help our younger riders at the barn. I scored in the 88th percentile on my SSAT. </p>
<p>I don’t know if anyone will reply to this, but it would be appreciated!! Thanks.</p>
<p>@usernamess- You sound like a delightful kid, but I created this thread as an alternative to “Chances”. If either school has an interesting feature (such as a cemetery… Cough), please by all means write about it. If you want to start your own thread, I’m sure many kind people will weigh in. I wish you all the best and hope you get wonderful news M10!</p>
<p>@photographermom-
Thanks so much, I am so sorry!! I think that Loomis’ writing program is extraordinary and would be honored to be a part of it. I love to write and oh my gosh, wow. The location is also stunning. Really. Thacher amazes me with it’s riding program, outdoors program, and academics. I love that everyone is involved in all three of those things. I know that not everyone continues the riding program, but the whole combination of all of those things for at least that first year seems like a perfect fit.</p>
<p>No problem, usernamess! Thanks for your post!!</p>
<p>Berkshire - for the rows of solar panels and the AMSR advanced math and science research program.
Putney - for the barn of course.
But then, I’m only a parent.
@PelicanDad, what about Fountain Valley School of Colorado? They have an indoor riding arena for snow days.</p>
<p>It’s not just at prep schools… I remember Grove street cemetery at Yale… Hmm…
more kids dying to get in. :D</p>
<p>Yep, Fountain Valley is on our list for next go-round!</p>
<p>I’ve been to FVS open house, actually twice, past January and in October couple years ago. Liked it both. I Would recommend attending one of those. My kids loved the food 
, but alas not horse people. They are revamping their music program and has jazz and string ensembles but doesn’t have an orchestra. (bummer for mine)</p>
