<p>I understand that in the past few years, too many kids said yes to Deerfield. When they decided to accept just a small number more than they had beds for they still ended up having to convert common rooms into dorm rooms. Supposedly they started only admitting the corresponding number of empty beds they had to offer. Making the acceptance rate very low, waitlist very big but a bed and desk for everyone who said yes. Deerfield lurkers, I know your busy but feel free to clarify.</p>
