When Do Deerfield Academy Admissions Decisions Come Out?

Deerfield Academy follows two admissions timelines:

• Early Decision (Mid-December): This option is binding, meaning if you’re accepted, you must enroll. It’s ideal for students who are sure Deerfield is their top choice.
• Regular Decision (Mid-February): Most applicants choose this route. If accepted, you have until early April to decide whether to enroll.

If you’re waitlisted, don’t lose hope! Many students get admitted off the waitlist as spots open. To improve your chances, stay in contact with the admissions office, express your continued interest, and highlight any new achievements. A strong follow-up letter reaffirming your commitment can help. Be patient, and stay positive throughout the process!
