<p>I am a first generation immigrant from Asia, female–I obviously speak a different language fluently.</p>

<p>Should I even bother applying?</p>

2

<p>yes you should def apply. i think you are a high reach/low match...</p>

3

<p>i think you would deff get in, I would sent in your ACT
maybe even JLB scholarship</p>

4

<p>i heard that brandeis has a high proportion of jewish students--would an asian like me stick out? in other words, is there a lot of diversity on campus?</p>

5

<p>Hey don't worry I am sure you will get in. I had much lower stats and no interview and got in. I would say asians are the second most common ethnic group on campus...</p>

6

<p>yes, Brandeis is 50% Jewish. however, 20% of its students are non-white so there is plenty of diversity.</p>

7

<p>its about 40% jewish. however, is this worse than Boston College that is 65% catholic or most schools that are 60% christian?</p>

<p>the religious identity of a school doesnt have much to do with it, unless it is founded on the pure ideal that will be a religious school such as BYU, Holy Cross. </p>

<p>Brandeis is a non-sectarian school, and makes sure to acknowledge all religions. Brandeis is about the most diverse school you could find.</p>
