<p>Recs: 3 teachers (English, History, French) My French teacher will explain that I couldn't fit in AP French to my schedule, History Teacher has written a best of her career rec, and I will not see the English one (but I'm sure its good) </p>

<p>One thing:
As Schools Match Wits (our local quizbowl) got cancelled this year thanks to network management changes. I took charge and created a petition to bring it back, and I am writing my essay about the work I have done for that (and relating it back to me the person).</p>

<p>I'd like to know my chances with the 'Deis. Along with this, do I have a shot at merit money. Brandeis is my number one choice and I would still want to go without it. But just would like to know my chances</p>

<p>You'll be fine for Bandeis.</p>

<p>yea i think u have a great chance..ecs are strong</p>

<p>Thanks, what about merit aid, do I have a shot at that. Will me applying early decision help or hurt that.</p>

<p>Yes, you have a chance for merit aid....ED may hurt that.</p>
