They want students who have good character and are responsible. Leadership skills is important as well. They are also interested in students who are well rounded as they want them to participate in Music as well as Athletics, as well as are able to contribute to the community.
问过Deerfield招生官同样的问题 “What kind of students you are looking for?"
他的回答我印象挺深刻的 "We are looking for superstars.“ -- 就是说你的标准化成绩，GPA和才华都得是卓越，光是优秀都不够。
FYI, 托福最低110，SSAT最低90%，才华可以体现在艺术、体育和学术方方面面。
