I would send a email to the admissions team asking if everything is submitted.
Did you fill out the online Deerfield interview request? I couldn’t get one either but I called the admissions office and they had a few last minute spots left. You do have to mention filling out the form though, or else they will say there are no spots left.
I did fill out the request, but unfortunately virtual interviews are fully booked with no availability. Sent a follow up email just now and got my application confirmation from Milton. I feel confident enough in my application as it is. We’ll have to see what happens.

eek!! i’m really getting worried now that all of my application materials are in, and since i’m a junior yr applicant the odds are especially against me 
do you guys feel good about your applications or are y’all also losing it?
As a fellow junior applicant I feel you. I know that I’m a pretty strong applicant but 11th grade is such a lottery. If you’re what the school needs to round out the class you’re in, if not too bad. As long as we presented the best possible version of ourselves we just gotta hope chance is on our side 
Good luck to you.
These emojis describe my experience

I have a great LPS so I felt confident throwing my hat in the ring for some more selective schools. In no particular order, I did Deerfield, Exeter, Milton, Governor’s, Choate, NMH, Mercersburg, Kents Hill, Taft, Tabor, Westminster CT, and Masters. To any future applicants: don’t be like me, go broad.
How quickly do coaches reply to emails? I’m freaking out over here lol
oh cool! i’m also applying to governor’s but my grades are not great so ur probably more likely to get in over me
I wouldn’t say so. Looking at your stats you have a clear hook and better EC’s than me. Who knows? Maybe we’ll both get in and I’ll see you in the fall 
me refreshing my application portals looking for my decision even though it’s january 18th:
omg that would be so funny lol fingers crossed that we r somehow the 11th grade anomaly
terrifyingly real… like just let me in NOW plz!!
btw are u a swiftie
i am for specific albums. i also like her as a person & think she has an amazing voice
Good luck everyone! We were in this boat last year and I remember the excitement mixed with anxiety leading up to February/March. The ONE piece of advice I can give is please don’t waste your time signing up for Informed Deliveries for any of the schools. It’s few and far between based on what we experienced (and I read about here) that you actually get an early notification about an acceptance package being shipped to your home. I (embarrassingly) wasted too much time and energy on checking across USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc. and it caused unnecessary worry and stress! Good luck to everyone!!

Thanks you. That is super helpful.
Is anyone applying to any top boarding schools for grade 10 for the 2024-2025 academic year and which ones? I’m just curious!
I’m reclassing as a 9th grader for every school except Emma Willard due to a merit scholarship opportunity!
