They want to know about your family. About a paragraph or so should do. They want to know what you did in High School. That means any jobs you had, big and small. Why you want to go to E”Y. It should be about a page or a page and a half long. Ask your principal or a teacher for help. Some people will let you see their Biography so you can get an idea. This is not the time to be humble, write all your strengths. Good Luck
Binas is a super seminary. Very academic and very hashkafa oriented. A great balance.
Try Midreshet Tehilla
There are certain seminaries that are easier to deal with than others. Nachlas is probably one of the hardest. I’ve heard seminar, peninim, hadar, ateres chaya, and binas bais Yaakov
are a little easier in how they expect payment. Masa is a huge help- even middle class families can qualify. Good Luck, it’s a huge expense.
Those are great questions.I feel that Binas Bais Yaakov and Bnos Sara tend to have very similar girls. Smart, fun, academically strong. Bnos Sara is probably a little more inside learning. That’s not to say Binas is not, they are very focused on inside learning ,but they do have a strong hashkafa program as well. Most girls who apply to Bnos Sara also apply to BJJ. Binas has many girls who applied to BJJ as well ,but a lot of them also applied to nachlas, and a bunch to Bnos Sara. So you’re looking in the right group from what I understand of your daughter.
Machon Raaya is probably the most academic of all the schools. The girls seem like they are always working, yet they do seem happy. I think the difference is that the girls in Machon Raaya may come from homes where they have a little more leeway than a typical yeshivish family ,but they are all growing wonderful girls.
Mesoras Rochel is a great academic seminary. The diffence with this one is that the girls seem to be the class leader types and come from yeshivish families.
I think the seminaries are all trying to have a closer relationship with their students now. Most do a pretty good job. I would say each of the ones you have mentioned accomplish that quite well.
What did you mean by how does the warmth manifest itself? Hope this helped.
Just trying to help what’s the bad attitude for? I’m grateful to be a mother. What does my name have to do with the seminary question?
I just went through this last year so if you have specific questions I will be happy to let you know what I found out.
