My D’s class (rising junior) has 22 students in MT; the rising senior class has 21. There is attrition the first two years…my D’s class started with 26 kids…they lost 4. As a comparison, the incoming freshman class at UMich is 23 this year. Don’t mistake class size with competition. Ithaca accepts about 3% of the kids that apply for MT. There are threads on how many apply versus how many get accepted, but GENERALLY speaking, the three schools who take a higher percentage of kids who apply are BoCo, Rider and NYU Tisch, just b/c their incoming classes are 50 - 65 kids. In my D’s year, BoCo accepted 18% of the kids who applied…but that doesn’t mean it’s not competitive. It is VERY competitive. Hope this helps.
