    Across all divisions of The New School, classes are usually seminar-style and focus on collaborative work. You must be willing to talk and contribute. Classes will test your attention span!

    The atmosphere here is one of community, scholarship, and serious political activism. Students tend to be highly intellectual and creative; many clearly excel in their field of study, and they aren't afraid to show it. Watch out, though - these guys may be bookworms, but they are fierce about their beliefs. A debate between New Schoolers is nothing short of an academic dog fight.

    As for admissions, make sure to nail the essay and the interview! Take lots of AP classes. Progressive essay responses are a plus. read full review
