I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of reputation this institution has? Is it considered at least in the top 30 or 35?

I think lower than that, bottom 10-15. It is small, and I don't think I've run into anyone who did their work there (anecdotal of course). I want to say that it's heavily oriented toward theory (or was). But my advice is always-- if you like the work of a professor there, it's worth looking at whether their students are competitive for the big CASVA, ACLS, etc... fellowships and whether they become working academics and/or curators. If you are starting to be anxious that you aren't going to be among the 3-5 applicants accepted by each of the the top 20 programs this year (with the exception of Yale and Harvard which might offer 6-8 spots), I might suggest CUNY or Rutgers as better "safetys".
