<p>OK, extra curriculars:
Went to rural China for 3 weeks to teach oral English to English teachers there. It’s one of Intel China’s biggest community service things… worked there for about 9 hours a day. I lived in the school and ate at the cafeteria, which is some kind of payment I guess. I had 24 students. Uh… I guess its only special because absolutely nobody else has it, otherwise its nothing worth mentioning.</p>

<p>Taught English in Shanghai for 3 weeks, not that its something in particular, either. Worked at an office. Primary duty was improve the workers’ oral English, secondary duty was help out in the office doing clerical stuff. Got a really good review by the supervisor and that’s about it. 8 hours a day. Was volunteer work but they gave me 1000yuan ($120) (and a Tshirt) at the end as a gift.</p>

<p>Went to school in Shanghai for 02-03 (freshman). Editor in Chief for newspaper and yearbook there.</p>

<p>ps, what major should i choose in order to have better chances?</p>

<p>thanks everyone!!!</p>

<p>You have pretty good ec's, which I think 'Deis likes. Your GPA is a bit low...though I'm not sure whether or not that average GPA for the school is calculated from uw or weighted gpas. I'm thinking non-weighted because lots of people had >4.0s. But Brandeis doesn't use a formula, so I would say go for it. Write a kick-ass essay and try try TRY to get more than mediocre recs. I don't think it really matters which major you choose since everyone is just accepted into the school of LAS.</p>

<p>so you go there or something? or just a specialist?</p>

<p>well, sounds good to me im going for it! </p>

<p>btw, does brandeis need SAT2? recommended? required? what?</p>
