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.

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.

Just do your thang. Be original and creative. Brandeis values travel, the arts and cool intercultural experiences over a boring GPA.

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!

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.

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.

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.
