<p>Hey I was wondering if this looks like what Brandeis is looking for at all for music/creative writing majors:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.19 weighted (going to rise)
3.88 unweighted (same)
Rank: 32/317 (getting better…it’s in the 20’s now)
SAT: (they’re not fair)…writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
ACT: June 10th, not taken yet.
9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 3 B’s on my transcript), 10th grade i took 2 honors, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A’s (one b+). From 10th grade on, I have all A’s on the transcript. Next year, I am taking 4 AP’s (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors honors.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: People to people student ambassador program, national youth leadership conference (possibly–next summer), glsen (helps teach others about diversity), junior mendelssohn choir, voice lessons, piano lessons, cantoring for my rabbi, jazz choir, chamber choir (most elite), and many others that I can’t think of. </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Okay, they don't <em>really</em> select based on your major. If you say on your application that you want to be pre-med then obviously you should be really strong in math and sciences. Other than that anything goes. Top colleges want to see that you've followed through at least a couple of activities enough to be really strong in it, and with chamber choir and stuff you seem to have done that. You seem like a strong student too.</p>

<p>I think you look great! Keep doing what you're doing and you have an excellent chance of being admitted (no admissions formula so can't guarantee anything). There are tons of musically inclined folk here so you'll be in good company.</p>

<p>your ec's are great. but you needt to take those sats again. If you look in any of the college books you will always see scores in the 600's for brandeis. GOOD LUCK!</p>
