It is really hard to believe an adult would come on here and write this, so I hope you are a kid.  I have a daughter who attends -- and loves -- Madeira.  Madeira has an equestrian program.  Some girls participate in it like any other school activity, and I am sure it attracts some of those girls for that reason.  There are girls who play field hockey or soccer or any other sport offered at all of the area high schools.  There are kids who do all of the plays and drama programs.  And then there are girls who ride.  The equestrian program is no bigger of a deal than any other activity at the school, and the majority of girls do not ride horses.  It is just another program offered at the school for those who are interested in it.

It is a wonderful and unique school.  It has been very welcoming and my daughter has met a lot of really nice girls and has been challenged academically and enjoyed her classes.  I really don't know what is required for acceptance because I only know my daughter's stats and as far as I know she has never compared those with other girls at school.  She did have pretty good grades and scores, but I do believe they look mostly for a girl who is enthusiastic about learning and will be a good fit for the school.   We toured and applied to numerous area privates and this was her first choice.  She fell in love with the school and we let her decide which school to attend.  We have not had a moment of regret -- other than when we write the check...  but that check would hurt no matter where we sent it :).

Good luck -- I agree with the previous posters that you should call the school and they will be happy to give you more information and connect you with current families.  [/quote]
