<p>Deerfield is better than Hotchkiss in some stats ( e.g., acceptances to Ivy/MIT/Stanford), while Hotchkiss is better than Deerfield in other stats (e.g., endownment per student, average SSAT’s). As someone remarked elsewhere on CC, these schools are “eerily similar” . Based upon what I have seen during my visits to each school and what I have read about them, I think such remark sounds about right.</p>
<p>Also, plan answers during your drive to the schools to these two questions, since they will eventually ask them:</p>
<pre><code> “What book have you read recently”
“What questions do you have for me?”
</code></pre>
<p>I know they seem simple, but they can be tough on the spot. I ruined an interview stammering for a question to ask. Also, just to let you know, I’m going to Exeter next year, so if you have any questions about their application procedure, financial aid, etc, feel free to PM me. bump</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip, btw I send you a PM application vet.</p>
