The New School: Great School for DesignGetting into Parsons can be tough but not impossible. At the same time staying in Parsons can be tough too. Being organized is one of the most important skills you should have to achieve in Parsons. I chose Parsons because of its location, reputation and the variety of programs it has and diversity of students. People who don't trust themselves in their ideas and creations should stay away from Parsons.
