I do not know how many applicants per grade at Deerfield. The acceptance rate overall last year was 12-13%. Reduce that if you need FA, reduce that if you do not have a “hook”. Is the GPA out of 4.0? Best advice, know why you want to go to each school, what you will contribute, make your essays stand out and cross your fingers. Deerfield students, from what I have seen, are all smart, well spoken, open to new experiences, self advocating and multi-talented.
