Although I would have been admitted to virtually any Ivy League college had I applied to them, I applied "early decision" to Brandeis, solely to avoid the stress and tension of waiting until April of my senior year in high school to learn my fate. I chose Brandeis because of its liberal-left reputation, the absence of fraternities or a football team, its strong programs in the physical sciences, and its proximity to Boston. Although I sometimes have regrets that the "brand name" of the school was less prestigious or well-known than a Harvard or Yale, Brandeis provided me with a rigorous, interesting, and wonderful academic experience, both in the sciences and social sciences. Unlike many better-known universities, professors, rather than grad students, teach all courses, and almost all the profs earned their PhDs from Harvard, Yale, or Columbia [except for "home-grown" Brandeis PhDs]. Moreover, I met my wife there, and I met many of my closest lifelong friends there almost 30 years ago. In any event, I went on to an Ivy League law school, Brandeis grads routinely get into the graduate school of their choice, and most of my classmates have succeeded both in academic and professional pursuits. I have kept up with developments at the college, and the place seems even better than when I graduated in 1980, with more inter-disciplinary and public-service programs, and a more diverse student body.
