Questions and Chance Me?

Current Junior (hopefully applying to the architecture program)
Gpa: 4.0/4.4 (u.w./w)
Taking 7 AP: World History, APUSH, Government, Biology, Stats, English (11&12)
SAT: Haven’t gotten scores back for new test but expecting around a 1300
EC: Academic Team, Forensics (Debate), Book Club, Writing Club, Writer’s Block, Drama Club, (Ham Radio and Skills USA in 9th grade), plus I’m volunteering at the SPCA and the local hospital over the summer, expecting 100+ hours
Questions:
What is the social life like at Cooper Union?
Are the classes really as rigorous as people say?
Does the program really provide people with a good background in architecture?
Thank you!!
