<p>Your SATs were around mine, ECs much better (:P), and your GPA is quite a bit lower… I’d say you have a good chance, just write good essays and get good letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>I know that Brandeis sends out letters in the mail to good students they’ve noticed but are from out of state with a link to a free application and no essay required (although I’d still do it). I’m taking a guess that you’re from CA—so take advantage of this if you get it.</p>
