<p>Being captain of the hockey team could really help you, plus all the other stuff you do except NHS...that doesn't mean s h i t. And I don't think Brandeis has too many Arizonans, so you have geographical diversity on your side. Try for an on-campus or an alumni interview and make sure you have a strong essay. Your chances are good for either ED or RD. The ED admit rate is quite high, I've heard.</p>
