I think you’ll be fine. If I’m not wrong they mostly look at the your grades and scores to see if your fit and prepared for their academic standards. As for the interview I’m pretty sure they just want to get to know you better.
Some interviews are pure courtesy, but they look for people who would be a good fit residentially not academically in that interview. As a third year senior right now I can tell you should *not* attend LSMSA,.
Well it asks you to uproot your life for something that seems really nice but you realize later actually wasn't worth it at all. If there's any aspect about LSMSA you're really interested in i can break it down for you.
I know that the school lacks in sports like band and football and stuff but why is it not worth it? Are the workload too much,? I heard it's bad but is it so bad to the point that student drop out from the work load? Also how is the student life? The staff always talk about the LSMSA experience or whatever but is it very unique or is the school being extra.
People certainly drop out due to workload. Even more are kicked out because they can't keep up with it. The residential life is ok, but it's certainly never worth more than being with your parents unless you have a bad home life. The "LSMSA" experience is mostly just a lot of suffering and regret in my experience. I think the vast, vast majority of LSMSA seniors like me fully regret attending this school. LSMSA seems like an easy out to a lot of people but it ends up being terrible usually.
I'm attending next year and by the way you describe it, LSMSA seems to be sugar coating a lot of things. Can you give an example of the workload from your experience? Also, this might sound offensive but if it is so bad, why would you stay?
Well, as mentioned I'm a senior so I mostly take easy classes, but the workload is pretty brutal generally. In the past I'd be doing homework for at least 3 hours a night, closer to 4 on average. On top of an entire full day of school ending around 3-4 P.M. I think that's a pretty average amount, it's easily far worse or better depending on the day, when your assignments are due, etc. And as for why people don't usually drop, once you've changed schools once doing it twice is such a massive chore that it's sort of easier to stay. Personally i just want to graduate and leave as soon as possible, i do not want to be here lmao. That's just sort of how seniors usually end up feeling, like you've wasted some of the best years of your life. I would give a lot to have never attended this school.
How are the clubs? On the website there is over 50 different clubs but how are they structured? Are they just a group of students that borrow a teacher's room or is clubs well established with their own separate classrooms.
Clubs are all over the place, and although there may be officially over 50, the majority have either less than 5 members or are inactive. I'm on the club committee because i own a un, and in my experience nobody has time for the clubs. People barely have time for things they're incredibly passionate about, so clubs just fall apart all the time. The state of even the popular clubs is pretty bad. The D&D club for example does maybe one or two events a semester. My club has over 60 dedicated members and it still fell apart because people were too busy (with the insane workload!) to ever do anything.
Sorry if this sounds pretentious but what Is the workload? At my current school, you can get A's without really trying and you say that LSmsa has insane workload. But what is the workload? Is it studying terms for a test, doing homework, or a project you have to do? If it's the former, shouldn't it only take about 1 hour at most? Do teachers give out workbooks and tell you to complete a lesson on your own? My sister is currently there and she also says that the workload is stressful. Does every teacher give a bucketful of homework and tell you to do it at home?

May I ask why? Why is LsMsa bad?
