| My D has been accepted into the CAP21 Pre-college summer program for this coming summer. I am interested in hearing from anyone else (parents or students) who will also be participating in the program. Am especially interested in knowing how things are working out with housing for those who are not commuting.
Thanks, |

| Hey! I'm going to it this summer. I have no idea what to do for housing. My brother is living in queens now, but I don't know if I can live with him. If not, I am applying for the New School dorms. If that doesn't work out, well, I don't know yet. I'm excited to meet your daughter! | |

| Hey everyone! I'm Corey, I am now a senior and I went to the program last year and had the time of my life...although I can't answer too many questions about housing (which seems to be the main topic haha, but I stayed at The New School) I would be happy to answer any questions you have about the program itself!
I don't check this website too much, but if you want to facebook me HIT ME UPPPP:

| Last summer, 2007, My D attended the CAP21 program for high school students which she LOVED!!! She was housed through The New School in the curfew dorm because she was not 17 at the start of the program, even though she turned 17 3 days later. She had a fabulous time, and felt it was worth every cent. (Encantateatro you must know her. She was the only one with short red hair.)
It is really important to send in your housing early, then you can be sure of a place. If you do change your mind, however, they keep $100. of the housing price.
CAP21 Summer program has great teachers, and a great program and a wonderful way for students to find out if MT is really what they want.
They get evaluated at the end and they get to keep them the evaluations.
My D had fabulous evaluations but there is no connection between doing well at CAP21 and getting in, unfortunately, as my D. applied ED but didn't get in. She just didn't have the grades. As it was her reach school, it was not a real surprise, but it was disappointing as many of her CAP friends did get in. However she feels that she learned so much that it really helped her for her auditions, application essays, etc. and felt it was a wonderful investment in her future. | |

| Also, my D. sent in an audition tape and there were about 60 students accepted. Michael, the head of the program last summer, told my D that there were many, many applicants and it was hard to turn away so many. | |

| Here is a housing option for those still looking: My D and another girl in the program have just rented an apartment near campus. There may be one or two units available to rent for the month of July for anyone looking for housing and two may be able to share a unit. The website is Maison International and you can ask for Joanne Morton. | |

| We are actually renting a two bedroom as my older daughter will be there interning at a magazine the entire summer. For a studio or one-bedroom it is around $2,500 plus tax and a broker fee, so a bit expensive unless sharing! Check their website. The other option is to look in craig's list, but I will tell you I send out several inquiries and did not hear back from anyone. NYC is expensive!!! Also, we mainly looked in the Village, but there are other options if you look in nearby areas that are just a short subway ride away from campus. Good luck!! | |

| as far as getting into the dorms I was offered one but I only had 24 hours to reply and I didn't check my e-mails until the next day so I wasn't able to get it. It was all the way in Brooklyn though so I probabaly wouldnt have taken it anyways. | |
