have you ever questioned your major? like you're a little unsure if you could do it or if you'll like it and want to have it as a career

no, never. I make photos/art for myself, not to have a career or for anyone else. I’ve always known I loved art and photography.

What classes do you recommend that i should take in high school? Like how many years of a language? And how hard should my classes be? how many AP classes should i take? What about IB? I'm also not participating in any sports in high schools cause i'm not very athletic.. will that hurt my chances of getting admitted?

parsons is an art school... we only have a basket ball team that half the school knows about....

you will not be required to take language at parsons. you may take it if you want. 

what the hell is IB?

I never took an AP class.

senior year i took an English class that all we did was journal for the whole year and were graded on how well we could journal.

Hey! I was wondering, do parsons fashion students have a specific housing they all reside in? Or are all of The New School students mixed? (I'm a prospective student for Lang but in interested in taking classes at Parsons too.) I hope you understand my question haha. Also do you choose your roommate? Thank you for your time

All new school students are mixed in. you can request someone to be your roommate but there is no guarantee.

Hi! I'm currently a junior in high school and Parsons has always been a dream school of mine every since i was like 8. Which is very shocking because I don't even remember where I've heard of that school. I was so glad I found this tumblr! If it is okay with you guys, can you let me know your accumulative gpa in high school? I'm really nervous mine isn't high enough for Parsons. Thank you!

honestly, I don’t even remember what my GPA in high school was. that was 5 years ago for me. Maybe C remembers hers?

who wants to run parsonsproblems?

i'm taking off for a while & i need somebody who, for whatever reason, wants to do this parsonsproblems thing. things that may be involved with this task include: - telling high schoolers we don't answer questions about the application - telling people who don't go to parsons where to live, what to do, what to expect, seriously people have asked some strange things & you can deal with that if you want i guess - trolling #parsons & #parsonsproblems & maybe sometimes #the new school & reblog/queue anything that is a "parsons problem" (to be decided at your discretion) - ??? nothing else probably? being a weird internet voice for your student body? anyway let me know if anyone's interested! the only requirement really being that you are a parsons student

When you were accepted how long did it take for you to get your decision? And how did they tell you? Cuz I keep checking my emAil but i don't know if it's supposed to be in letter form or do you have to check at the admissions hub or?!

i’m confused? I got my acceptance letter and then I accepted it. Meaning Parsons said I got in. And then I said that I was going to their school. They sent a letter to my parents house saying that I was accepted. 

again i’m just confused....
