<p>What is deerfeild looking for in the essays that they give you.</p>

2

<p>What are their questions based around?</p>

3

<p>Hey guys I am applying to Phillips as a 9th grader and I would appreciate feedback on any parts of the school in general, But mostly the interview process.</p>

4

<p>Hey guys, I am applying to Deerfeild for 9th grade and i would appreciate any feedback. I am very interested in the interview process and what the questions are about. Thanks</p>

5

<p>“I” before “E”, except after “C”.</p>

<p>All the schools will ask u, “Why do u want to go to _______?”</p>

6

<p>What does the I before E except after C mean?</p>

7

<p>It means you need to spell the school’s name properly on your application!</p>

<p>Alex…this thread belongs on Chances. Also, part of what makes a boarding school student successful is the willingness to do a little research before asking questions. There is a TON of info on Deerfield.</p>

9

<p>Write about the tragedy of Lyme disease, its impact on the deer population of the Northeast US, and the broader societal impact of the woods becomming dangerous for humans.</p>

10

<p>

</p>

<p>Absolutely. And the ability to actually spell the name of the school correctly.</p>

11

<p>your right, thanks</p>

<p>Perhaps it’s because you are in a rush to get to 15 posts so you can then receive/send PMs…but your approach to the whole discovery process seems a bit scattered to me.</p>

<p>As people have noted, the search tool (specifically the advanced search tool) is great for finding, you know, stuff you are looking for.</p>

<p>Here is just one thread of many about NMH that I was able to turn up using the advanced search function:</p>

<p>Seems to be exactly what you are looking for, no? A current (frosh in 2012) student offering to ask any questions…</p>

<p>I think the board rewards people who have done their homework and then have questions, not newcomers with a “shotgun” approach.</p>

<p>Just my 2¢. FYI, I’m the parent of a BS student in her 3rd year who is currently shepherding a second child through the same process.</p>

<p>If you haven’t read my recap of our search/application process a few years ago, it may be worth a read.</p>
