Post graduate year at Deerfield Academy

Hey guys,

I’m new to College Confidential. I will be taking a post graduate year at Deerfield Academy this fall. I am a senior in high school, and currently go to another private school in MA. I was wondering what life is like for a PG at DA. I know we are a part of the senior class, but when does it truly start to feel that way? I have the prep school experience down. I know DA is much preppier, but is the dress code that strictly enforced? Especially among girls? Also, I am a minority; do minorities at Deerfield feel any sort of discrimination? Thanks in advance!

My daughter will be going to DA but as a 9th grader. I’m also very interesting in the class dress thing as I saw varying degrees of it during revisit. She’s new so I can’t give a perspective on your other questions unfortunately.
