I’m applying to the Masters School (mostly because of its location near New York City), and I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about it. I didn’t have a chance to go up for a campus visit, so all my information is based on the website and viewbooks. I just want to know about things like dorm life (how are the dorms? I know they’re all singles for girls, but are they really cramped?), the basic demographic of the school, social interaction (exclusivity, etc.), and the academics and arts programs. I know it’s a tier 2 school, so if someone could tell me if there really is a significant difference between the academics compared to a tier 1 school.

Also, my chances please. I know everyone hates these, but I’m not really sure about the standards for a school that’s not a “top school.” I have a 94% overall on my SSATs. Mostly As and Bs, transcript-wise. My interview went really well, and I feel comfortable about the rest of my application. As for my ECs, I am very into theatre, and musical performance (I play the piano and the guitar quite adamantly). I’ve done Varsity Policy Debate which I explained that I do not plan on continuing but it could help me nonetheless. I come from an unrepresented state in the south and am not applying for financial aid.

I would really really appreciate any information anyone has. Thanks!!! March 10th is just too far away.
