<p>^ Well, one of the reasons I'm not so worried about that is that the majority of my close friends are jewish, in fact, all of them, with the exception of 2-3. I've also been to synagogue and bar mitz'vah's millions of times, and my family's entirely from New York. So, not so worried about that at all. </p>
<p>As for visiting, I've visited the towns before and loved them, unfortunately, cannot afford to visit the schools until at least later this fall.</p>
<p>For application fee waivers, apparently you have to qualify for the SAT/ACT fee waiver, and that would require me to have like ~$20k a year TOTAL income, which is insane.</p>
<p>Any other opinions, also, are there any on there that are such an extreme reach they shouldn't be there, and should I replace any, any suggestions on that?</p>
<p>Just wanted to defend:
New York is not the only place where Brandeis students are from. There are a TON of people from California, especially in this year's freshman class, and a solid international community. Most people come from...everywhere! My roommate is from Belgium, along with her two best friends, plus there are people from India, Japan , France, etc. And Indian people sure as hell aren't Jewish! The thing about Brandeis is, yes, there are a lot of Jewish people. Some of them are orthodox/strict religious observers, but a lot of them are "Hey, I had a bar mitzvah and get presents for Chanukah."
Plus, Tufts, NYU, Washington U...all of the top schools have just as many Jews...the only difference is that Brandeis was founded as a school for Jewish people.</p>
<p>^ Yep, indeed.</p>
<p>Any more comments on my above questions and my chances?</p>
<p>i dont want you to think i meant anything by that...</p>
<p>the NY thing was a joke btw...ya im not funny :(</p>
<p>Any other opinions on my schools and my chances at them?</p>
<p>Also curious, found out today that my weighted GPA is a 4.02, and my uw GPA is a 3.477, now, will the colleges I'm looking at look more towards the weighted, or the unweighted, or what?</p>
<p>Also, any other opinions on my chances?</p>
<p>Anybody with any input?</p>
<p>Anyoneeeeeeeeeeeee? Hehe</p>
<p>There's no hope for my thread. Anybody have an opinion....</p>
<p>Alright, final bump, guess no one cares, heh.</p>
<p>Ok, another attempt....I'd just like a few opinions on my chances and the schools, and if I should change any of them?</p>
<p>AH, anybody home...</p>
<p>Ok, I guess I'll just have to keep doing this, or simply repost, this is ludicrous...</p>
<p>I feel as though it's sad doing this....but again, any more opinions? </p>
<p>There has to be another soul out there with some insight...</p>
<p>Is anybody home, is anybody wasting...</p>
<p>Oh, come on, someone has to have an opinion. lol</p>
