<p>I’d say you are a competitive applicant (of course, the whole process is so arbitrary). If any part of your record is weaker than the rest it’s the ACT and GPA - it looks like you’re really busy/involved/successful with all of your ECs, work, and volunteering. Are you planning on taking the SAT? I think it might work in your favor that you’re from Nebraska - that’s pretty different. There aren’t very many Brandeisians from that area of the country, so I’m sure admissions will be interested in that. Let us know if you have any questions about Brandeis!</p>
