<p>Has anyone gotten any information on the length of the Waitlist for next year's 9th grade?</p>
<p>I tried with admission office but with no luck.</p>
<p>Hopefully they will take some of us California students!</p>
<p>i just withdrew from DA’s waitlist =) hopefully all of your chances have increased!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, you need to remember that if School A has 100 openings, they might admit 150 students, as some of those students will choose to go to School B. So, it could be a while before a school goes to its wait list, if at all.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Has anyone revisited Deerfield yet? Did they say how many were accepted?</p>
<p>The first revisit is tomorrow! I’ll be going :)</p>
<p>They said it was about 14% of 1883 completed apps.</p>
<p>Didn’t Deerfield have an overflow of freshman girls last year? Our tour guide mentioned something about it… Was that due to not enough of them declining the acceptance offer?</p>
<p>That means roughly 1:1 for admitted:waitlist. Is that common practice for boarding school admission?</p>
<p>SFBay - where did you get that from?</p>
<p>In the letter to my D it said “small number of select candidates”.</p>
<p>Yes, their yield was ridiculous, so much higher than they planned. Judging by the amount of new sophomore girls (less than 10) that I saw at the first revisit and the fact that everyone I talked to commented on them not letting in many new sophomore girls, it was one of the most difficult pools this year probably.
I do, however, know of MANY people who applied as sophomore girls who were waitlisted (definitely more than 10 :P), so they might be waiting for revisits to see who commits and then immediately going to waitlist if its that long.</p>
