And why is its admission rate the same or lower than andover/exeter? Would anyone pick deerfield over andover, et al.?

Yea, I could see that. My sister is sort of dating a deerfield guy; i hung out with them tonight and was kind of blown away by how nice he was. Mentioned that I liked chocolate banana bread pudding, and he surreptitiously typed that into his phone, which seemed weird to me -- I have no idea why he would want to remember that.

I only know so many people from each of these schools, but those I know from Deerfield were probably a notch higher on the "old money WASP" scale and a notch lower in terms of academics versus Exeter/Andover.

There are really 2 types who go to these schools

The ones with so much money that where they go to school is irrelevant, and those who attend (on scholarship) for the sake of creating a "multi-ethnic tapestry" that urban elite libs are so fond of and so that Peyton Cabot IV can say he had "black" friends.

Otherwise, yeah, they're great schools.

Slightly lower on the Wasp scale than St. Paul's or Groton but a step up from Exeter/Andover (which are meritocratic schools these days). Academics are excellent.

Traditionally Deerfield was not an aristocratic school as St. Paul's or Groton. Students came from the upper-upper middle classes but who wouldn't quite cut it academically at Exeter/Andover.

Similar to Hotchkiss. More old money types than Andover, Exeter, Choate--which all have plenty of old money too, but which tend to be more welcoming of nouveau riche. More "conservative" than those schools too and has a jacket and tie dress code.

It's weird if you're an Al Bundy type who went to some random public school in the heartland with middling academics. Deerfield (and many private schools) are the sorts of schools that instill a sense of loyalty and identity in the students. Plus, strong alumni.

Senior year of HS I went to a debate tournament at Deerfield and was walking through the dining hall. They had like the school seal on the floor and it was roped off and I literally just walked right through it. Some asian came up to me and started bitching about how I was being disrespectful. I told him "dude its a fucking piece of metal in the floor with a logo on it". he literally grunted and marched away ljl.

they have a SICK lacrosse team and campus though. its nicer than most college campuses.
