SSAT Scores
Good, I may retake, my overall percentage was about a 92%

I'm still working on my essays, but writing tends to be one of my strengths, so I think I will do really well.

Interview-
Haven't had yet but I will be well prepared, and there isn't any reason it should not be good

Teacher recs-
English- Really good! he loves me
Math- Average, not amazing but definitely not horrible
History- Pretty good, above average, I didn't know her very well so I don't think she had much to go on.

Hooks?
We're family friends with some people who sent there son there and are huge donors do you think it would help any if we talked to them about recommending me?

Thanks so much for your answers!

You seem like a good candidate, what are your SSAT scores? GPA? (I am also a 9th grader applying to Deerfield, and live about three hours from Atlanta!)

Stefan4ever is a troll. Sorry, but it's true. Read his/her other (self-contradictory) posts.

You certainly don't have anything to worry about. People from the south like you have a much higher chance of getting in than people from the northeast, because pretty much everyone in the northeast applies, and the admission board people want to have a diverse community. We have many close family friends at Deerfield, and one thing I know for sure is that it is a very athletic school. You could have average grades but be a stellar athlete, and you would get in. If you had good grades but no sports, you wouldn't.

Overall, I say you have a pretty good chance.

1) you live in a location where not many people apply.

2) you have a few sports going for you.

3) you have good grades.

4) and you're have connections with big donors for the school!

I know you're going to get in!!!!!!!

Are you only applying to Deerfield? Even with great stats it is always a guessing game... Maybe apply for a few more so you can have options/ incase it doesn't work out. 13% acceptance, it is like applying to an Ivy.
