<p>Like the title says I need to make a decision between Wheaton (Mass.) and Brandeis. Long story short I'm an athlete, have good academic stats (don't really feel like listing them, but I would have a really good shot getting in either place without athletics). </p>
<p>For me the big factors are academics, athletics (in that order), opportunities to pursue internships/volunteering at a hospital, getting into med school (although realistically this is on me to perform well) , overall student body.</p>
<p>For both schools: Do athletes hangout with athletes or do they branch out to meet new people? Are people competitive about grades? Are the students driven? Other pros/cons to either school?</p>
<p>I'm not a partier, and would rather hangout with 10 or 15 close friends than go to a party with a couple hundred people. And yes I know Brandeis is a little less than half Jewish haha, my Dad's side is Jewish, some practicing some not, and I'm not particularly religous, but have had some exposure to Jewish culture. If any CCers could weigh in that would be great!</p>
<p>Thank you in advance :)</p>
