I chose Brandeis over

<p>Let me start: Uconn, URochester, NYU, Boston College, and UNH.</p>

<p>NYU and Tulane... that's all I ended up applying to as I got into Brandeis ED, but I suppose you could say I turned down chances at William and Mary, UNC, Lehigh, George Washington, Colgate, and UCLA.</p>

<p>NYU, GWU, Maryland, Rutgers, Princeton (just kidding on the last one)</p>

<p>UChicago, WashU, Rice, UIUC, McGill</p>

<p>NYU, UChicago, Emory, Georgia Tech</p>

<p>Vassar, Drew, Brown, Williams, Grinnell, Rice, Haverford, Trinity</p>

<p>Ithaca, Clark, Umass, SUNY Albany, Northeastern, and Wheaton</p>

<p>Brown, JHU, Williams C and a few more</p>

<p>Emory, UMich, UW-Madison, Northeastern</p>

<p>Tufts, Boston College Honors School, Umass Amherst, Stonehill</p>

<p>do you guys have a facebook?</p>

<p>Why so many people choosing Brandeis over UChicago, Brown, Williams...?</p>

<p>Because it's awesome.</p>

<p>And also generally has better merit/ financial aid.</p>

<p>Because it is a great school...</p>

<p>i'm curious... did anyone choose brandeis over schools like brown for reasons OTHER than financial aid? (i know that my reasons last year were financial ones... as were those of most i knew at brandeis...) i'm just curious!</p>

<p>if everything is equal i'd chose boston u. over brandeis.</p>

<p>buddy u are on crack..</p>

<p>Brandeis>>>>>BU</p>

<p>of course im going to BC so I may be biased against BU, but id go to Brandeis over BU any day, even if BU gave me 20K and Brandeis gave me nothing</p>

<p>see, you think it's ridiculous when i say i'd chose bu over brandeis, what about those choosing brandeis over brown, williams et al? equally ridiculous!</p>

<p>I chose Brandeis over Brown because I simply did not like Brown. MY mother really wanted me to apply, so I did, but with very little intention of actually going. It had nothing to do with fin. aid. As for Williams, I was waitlisted, and then later accepted, but at that point I had already sort of set my sights on Brandeis. I was rejected from Swarthmore, Grinnell and Rice were ultimately too far away; however, were it not for money, I would probably have chosen Vassar.</p>
