If you’re applying to more than one, and you find out that these are good fits, Seminar, Meohr, and Chochmas Lev are all fine sems. We dealt with the last two – perfect for each girl.
And check if the sem accepts the MASA grant; that can be a big help.
There are different angles to the sems. Hadar, e.g has GREAT girls, but very yeshivish, and is very strict, and very academic. So you want to decide
– do you want academics and/or hashkafa?
– a very homogenous crowd or not?
– keep adding to the list
There has to be someone in the school who can start to give you direction.
P.S. BYA is also a great option. As are Bnos Chava and a host of others.
