<p>Would anyone be so kind as to recommend several schools similar to Brandeis, but that is not as difficult to get admitted into.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>“Similar to Brandeis” in what aspects? Size? Majors? Proximity to Boston? Religious orientation?</p>
<p>Similar in terms of size, academics, and student population.</p>
<p>At least in the past, I’ve noticed that some applicants to Brandeis also applied to Clark University (in Worcester, MA) as a safety.</p>
<p>Clark was the first one that occurred to me too. It might or might not qualify as a true safety, depending on how high a reach Brandeis is for you (for our son, Brandeis is a low reach, and Clark is a borderline match/safety). But it’s definitely easier to get into than Brandeis, and has a roughly similar academic approach and social/cultural vibe. Size-wise, it’s a bit smaller than Brandeis but in the same ballpark.</p>
<p>Depending on how wide a geographic net you want to cast, you might also want to consider places like Lawrence U. in Wisconsin and Alfred U. in western NY.</p>
<p>Some other schools sometimes considered with Brandeis: Bard, Skidmore, Connecticut College, Goucher, Sarah Lawrence, Hampshire. Also University of Rochester, though it would be about the same level of admissions difficulty.</p>
<p>I second Goucher, it was one of the places I looked at. Also I think they have a non-binding Early Action program…</p>
