When is the Deerfield application due?
Deerfield's priority application deadline is January 15, 2027. All three parts of the Gateway application should be in by then. Deerfield will try to consider applications finished after January 15, but cannot guarantee a March 10 notification. Late candidates are limited by the spaces left after April 10.
Which test does my student take?
Applicants to grade 9 or 10 submit the SSAT or the ISEE, taken between January 2026 and January 2027. Applicants to grade 11 submit the ACT, PLAN, PSAT, SAT or SSAT, taken between September 2026 and January 2027. Applicants to grade 12 or a postgraduate year submit the ACT, PSAT or SAT, taken between September 2025 and January 2027.
Is an interview required?
Interviews are a required part of the application. Interviews are offered in person or virtually. The in-person visit pairs a campus tour with a one-on-one interview with an admission officer. The virtual interview is a one-on-one Zoom conversation, with time for parents to speak with an admission officer.
How much does it cost to apply?
The application fee is $60 for students living in the United States or Canada and $125 for students living outside the United States. Application fee waivers are based on financial need, and the Candidate Profile has to be completed first. Deerfield does not offer fee waivers after January 31.

Can my student start in the middle of the year?
Deerfield enrolls students for September only. It does not admit students in the middle of the academic year.
When do families hear back?
Admission and financial aid decisions are available to applicants on March 10, 2027. Enrollment contracts for newly admitted students are due April 10, 2027.
