Not top 10% in a small public school (probably 20%?)

ECs - Varsity Baseball/Soccer Captian, Varsity since 9th grade in both, Math Modeling, National Honor Society, Grade 3-6 Volunteer Helper, Grade 6 Step up day helper, Unpaid Intern at UMass, Indoor Soccer team organizer/captain, Summer/Fall Baseball, Summer Soccer. Maybe a few more ECs but can't think of any right now.</p>

<p>Chances? What are some good match schools for me too?</p>

<p>Get your SAT above 2200 and you’re good to go. 2150 is probably fine too</p>

3

<p>Easier said than done. What about my chances right now?</p>

<p>Looking at Brandeis’ Common Data Set: <a href=“http://www.brandeis.edu/institutionalresearch/pdfs/CDS2011_2012_final.pdf[/url]”>http://www.brandeis.edu/institutionalresearch/pdfs/CDS2011_2012_final.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your SAT scores appear to be about at the mean for students who enrolled in Brandeis last year. </p>

<p>56.28% of enrollees had a GPA of 3.75 or higher (with a mean of 3.8). 64.38% were in the top 10th of their class, and 93.57% in the top quarter. Your grades are a bit below this standard but are close enough that you should be considered a serious candidate.</p>

<p>So, overall, I’d say high match or low reach from where you stand now. Assume you cover yourself with true matches and safeties – this is the level of school you should be applying to and have a reasonable hope to attend.</p>

<p>If it’s your first choice, ED should help your chances.</p>

6

<p>Show demonstrated interest, have outstanding recommendations and have really strong essays</p>

<p>High match even with the asian factor? I visited Brandeis and I love it there.</p>
