First I fell in love with Deerfield for the campus and the fact that it has such a greta reputation but I haven’t visited St. George’s yet ( my interview is in a few days, they’re deadline is extended), and Andover and Lawrenceville I won’t say are my safety schools but they’re not my top choices. My one con with St. George’s it that I feel like its not as prominent as the other boarding schools, I don’t always hear about it and sometimes when I mention I’m applying there, my friend at Peddie and one of my friends at ethel walker said they never heard of it Everyone is huge fan of me possibly going to Deerfield. I’m not sure about my chances of getting into Deerfield also I don’t know exactly what makes deerifeld such a standout compared to others?
I would be in orchestra, I’m interested in debate but have not had the opportunity to be on a debate team yet, I take college courses ( I got all As but then a C in my math course >,<), I volunteer and all that. but I love how st. george’s has such a beautiful and different campus than the other new england schools. and from what I can see from the surface I think I like the people at georges more than deerfield as a whole

I don’t only like a school for its name but I just feel as if george’s is lacking a bit in reputation. I haven’t even gotten my acceptance or rejection letters yet haha but I feel like I wouldn’t even know where to start. Do you think I would slip through the cracks at DA? the thing with st george’s is that I feel like with their orchestra and stuff that I would stand out but I don’t want to be held back with my abilities… not to sound rude but that has happened a few times for me.

sorry this is a bit long winded. all answers are appreciated
