Can I have some tips on getting into EHS, Deerfield Academy, or Hotchkiss?

Yes @DroidsLookingFor - these questions are now several years old. But, keep in mind that sometimes AO’s may want to know family information relevant to the “why” a student is applying (divorce, death, move overseas). We had a sense that a couple of the AO’s were really curious as to why a kid from far away with no family history of attending a NE boarding school, would want to attend one. One AO asked me (during the parent interview) if there was a divorce or job move as the reason kiddo was applying. A couple of questions asked of kiddo were wonky (“What does your mom make for dinner? She doesn’t make dinner - my dad does or she makes reservations), but Kiddo tells me it was handled it with humor.
