<p>I'm interested in International Relations (or possibly a Pre-Med tract) and I really want to continue dancing ballet in college b/c I'm currently a student at Boston Ballet but won't be able to continue dancing there once I start college. I just want to hear other people's opinions.</p>

<p>I have a 3.8 gpa unweighted, I have over 1000 hours community service, I did a lot of extra curriculars over the course of my high school career, etc.</p>

<p>I got a full scholarship to a state school but I really didn't want to attend there.... I'm stuck between BU or Brandeis. I got off waitlist for Brandeis. They both offered me about the same amount of money. I'm only going to dorm the first year (to save some money) but it will be easier for me to commute to BU. If anyone could just give me their detailed opinion ... Thank you.</p>

<p>I transferred out of BU so i may be a bit biased towards Brandeis. BU is located right in the city and Brandeis is 20 minutes away. You will most certainley find a better intellectual student body at Brandeis relative to BU. BU has its fair share of students who don’t know their left from right (no offense). I would go with Brandeis especailly for a pre med track.</p>

<p>easy decision: Brandeis (did you get that MCAS scholarship to UMass-Amherst? I turned that down easily :stuck_out_tongue: )</p>

<p>Brandeis for sure! BU is way too big and Brandeis is a way better and closer knit school.</p>
