I just fell in love with Brandeis! Chances? And AP policy?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brandeis University

<p>I was looking for a good liberal arts college in Boston and ended up looking into Brandeis (I know it’s in Waltham).
From just researching it the past ten minutes, I think I’m really interested in it.
What are my chances of getting in (sorry, I know everyone’s asking!)?</p>

<p>Rank: Top 3% (out of ~250)
Weighted GPA: 4.6-ish</p>

<p>I haven’t taken the SAT yet, but I did get a 201 on the PSAT (my math score dragged it down a bit).</p>

<p>Activities:
Peer Tutoring
Youth Commission Club
Diversity Club (I’m in Leadership Ring)
Leo Club
Badminton Club (created it last year, we’ll see if it becomes official in the spring)
Hopefully I’ll make National Honors Society this year.</p>

<p>Awards:
3rd Place within my grade on National Spanish Exam (Freshman Year)
English Department Award (Sophomore)
Spanish Department Award (Sophomore)
Inducted into Hispanic Honors Society (Sophomore)</p>

<p>I’ve started doing quite a bit of community service this year through Leo and Youth Commission Club.</p>

<p>I’m sure my recommendations will be great.</p>

<p>I got a 660 on the Bio SAT Subject Test, but I plan on taking USH and Spanish, so I should have better scores.</p>

<p>What other info is important?</p>

<p>I’m taking two APs (USH and English Lang) this year and will probably be taking five next year. What’s their AP policy? Will I get credit if I pass the exams?</p>

<p>I’m interested in majoring in something like Linguistics or something Romance Languages-related or even something along the lines of sociology. And I want a school where teachers really care about students.</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch! Like I said, I literally just starting looking into Brandeis a few minutes ago. I’m from Mass and I’m really interested in learning more about it!
Any good websites (besides CollegeBoard and the official site) about Brandeis that I can look into?</p>

<p>It seems like you are a good match for Brandeis. It sounds like you are involved in a lot and have solid scores.
In terms of AP policy, for USH, you will get 4 credits (and will fulfill part of your requirement for the school of social sciences) but you won't place out of any classes. English Language will also get you 4 credits, but you won't fulfill any requirements or place out of any classes.
I am a Brandeis student, so feel free to PM me if you have any other questions!</p>
