<p>All your stats look great, the only thing that is a little low is your GPA, but your ACT is high, and you said your high school sends a lot of students to top schools, so that could balance out your GPA, especially if you go to a public school like the Academies, Livingston, Ridgewood, Millburn, ect. </p>

<p>And your interest in Brandeis, I know they take student interest levels really seriously. </p>

<p>I am also just an applicant, so that’s all coming from my limited knowledge of the whole process.</p>

<p>I think your chances are reasonable.
ED might have helped, but I think you are right there as a viable candidate.</p>

<p>You display of interest really helps.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you!</p>
