that the school is really good at teaching and i really want to go to your school and my grade point average was 4.0
Biology
I got high grades and test scores mainly, my extracurriculars weren't all that great. They basically threw money at me to come here, and so my parents forced me to come. I forgive my parents, but I can't forgive the school for being such a crappy place.
Computer Science
In high school, I took as much challenging classes as I could. All math and sciences were honors and I did very well. However, I didnt take honors Eng until 11th grade because I am not an American born citizen. My mediocre SAT score is excusable because of my socioeconomic background. :)
Cultures/Civilization
just wrote the essay and did the application. no interview actually. not too hard
English
Work hard, Study hard, but make sure you can pursue extra-curricular activities that you truly enjoy.

Just do your thang. Be original and creative. Brandeis values travel, the arts and cool intercultural experiences over a boring GPA.
Math
You should be near the top of your high school class; they tend to look for the top 10%. I, however, only made it into the top 20%, and I still managed to get in somehow. I think if you do well on your standardized tests, you get pretty good grades, you participate in school activities, you do something to make yourself stand out, and you write a solid essay, you can get in. I heard that Brandeis usually accepts a larger body of students than one might expect, since a lot of people who are accepted do not choose to go here. Oh well. Good luck!
Philosophy
Aside from a good G.P.A. and test scores, extra-cirricular activities are big. Especially leadership stuff. I think Brandeis trys to look at the individual as much as possible.
Physics
To get in I wrote a good essay that was about it. If you want to go here just apply early and talk to the people at admissions.
Psychology
I wrote an essay of particular concern to me as well as a paper I wrote in my AP English class and a poem I wrote. I also visited a lot (I'm in-state), I interviewed, and I showed the University I was interested by calling and asking questions.
