Brandeis Policy on Graduating Early?

<p>Hi,
I’m a junior from Washington state and right now Brandeis is my top choice for college. I’m trying to decide whether to graduate early or not, but do not know if I would be able to be accepted as a junior. I know that some genius kids get accepted to top schools like MIT their junior year but I’m not really a genius. I’ve summarized my stats below, but can elaborate with more information if that would be helpful. If you guys know anything about the Brandeis’s policy for graduating early or could evaluate my chances that would be really really great :slight_smile: Thanks in advance. </p>

<p>**The Basics **
white female, 3.7 GPA uw, ap us history, ap calculus, ap european history, all A’s in my classes except for B’s in english and high level math classes.</p>

<p>**Test Scores **
I haven’t taken very many standardized tests because I thought I still had a bunch of time to take them. I am planning on taking the ACT in January and rushing the score to Brandeis. Right now, the only score I have is a 27 from an ACT that I took unprepared in ninth grade for a summer program. I am hoping that with a little prep over this winter break I can score in the mid 30s. I have also taken the PSAT and am hoping for national merit;)</p>

<p>How I Spend My Time
I’m currently a student in Washington State’s Running Start Program and took 18 credits last quarter including: calculus, web authoring, english 101, and a required web-authoring class.
I’m a big fan of volunteering and volunteer almost all day every friday in one of the elementary school’s classrooms. I teach the students keyboarding, individually tutor the students in reading and math, and help out the teacher with ordinary tasks such as creating bulletin boards, grading tests/papers, etc.
I attend the Community High School of Jewish Studies every Wednesday in which I participate in two night classes. This quarter I chose a discussion based class on the Relevance of the Holocaust and also a class in conversational Hebrew.
I’m very active in sports with my main sport being taekwondo. I train at least an hour everyday and help teach classes. In the fall I run cross country and in the spring I run track.</p>

<p>** What Makes Me Unique **
I was one of the very few sophomores selected to attend NASA SHARP this summer.
I was born partially deaf but have overcome the obstacle through many years of speech therapy
I was a local, regional, national, and international champion in taekwondo. I was invited to train at the Olympic Training Center for a few weeks for taekwondo. I have been captain of the junior and seniors state taekwondo teams for a few years. I have been training for ten years and am currently a third degree black belt.</p>

<p>After being accepted into Brandeis ED in December of 2000, I opted to graduate early from High School. The University had absolutely no problem with my decision (though I did contact the admissions office to make certain before going ahead with the plan).</p>
