Hey guys! Could someone please tell me some stuff about Hotchkiss, Blair, Miss Porter’s and NMH that I should know about while deciding? Eg. student life, academics, sports etc? For Miss Porter’s, maybe also girl school stuff? Thanks!
Note: I am unfortunately not going to attend revisits because I live too far away
It might be easier for users to help you out and respond if you were a little bit more specific? Could you write out more detailed and individual questions that people could answer? It’s hard to give answers without questions :)))

@mackenzie1002 There is thread on this to answer specific questions about the school - check out the thread started by @hotchkissbearcat
@mackenzie1002 - I mean for your specific questions about Hotchkiss. Also you may also want to reach out to the folks on the BS Resources threads about schools - they are listed by school and graduating year, or student’s year - WIshing you the best!
@Golfgr8 Thank you!
Blair is only for undergrads which is a big advantage when it comes to being able to make it into ensembles. This means your competition for those seats isn’t against grad students. It also means she won’t get stuck studying with grad assts.
@elder: I think that you are confusing the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University with Blair Academy (high school) prep boarding school in New Jersey.
