<p>BTW, I applied to Wesleyan University in CT Early Decision, but after reading the NYT article about their ED applications going up 40%, I am thinking about where I would go if I am rejected, and I think Brandeis would be my next choice. Are there a lot of shared applicants between these two schools? I know one is a small university and one is a large LAC, but they both share an intellectual, Jewish, somewhat artsy, slightly urbane student body, right?</p>
