<p>I am applying to Deerfield Academy and Westminster School this coming year and was wondering my chances of getting in. I would appreciate somewhat more elaborate answers than "good" or "bad" and answers that pertain to my chances of being accepted at both schools rather than just one if possible. Help with other aspects of my education I may want to make known to these schools would be appreciated as well. Also, do I need more Recommendations? Can I use the same personal essay for both schools? Thank you!</p>
