<p>What is my liklihood of getting accepted at Brandeis? Also, how likely am I to get fin aid? How is the financial aid here?</p>

<p>I am a high school junior. I have a 4.22 on a 4.0 scale (3.98 unweighted). I got a 28 on the ACT, but I am retaking it soon. I am ranked 20ish in a class of 530. A few of my literary works were published in our school’s literary magazine and I am a reporter and HR manager of our school’s student newpaper. Also, I am president of our school’s Diversity Club, member of NHS, and co-founder/vice president of Creativity Club (formerly the corresponding secretary of History Club and a member of Art Club, but both of them were canceled last year). I participate in competitive artistic roller skating and practice about three hours a day six days per week, with this I have won eight national and regional metals and this year I won Leslie Elder Michigan Skater of the Year. For community service (I do at least 11 hours/week), I work as an assistant for my former chemistry teacher once a week, I volunteer at the Michigan Humane Society every weekend, I teach a roller skating for beginner and advanced classes, and I volunteer and job shadow at the hospital near my house (which is nationally ranked) every Friday. Also, last summer I did a medical program at Michigan Tech, this summer I am doing the medical program at U of MD with the National Student Leadership Conference. This summer I also plan on teaching French to elementary school kids. </p>

<p>Classes: Jr yr: (I took AP US History sophomore year) AP Gov, Honors English, Independent Study: Physiology (ALOT of research involved, plan on getting it published), Genetics/Evolution, Advanced Journalism, Alg 2, French 3, Physics</p>

<p>Tenative classes for Sr yr: AP English, AP Bio, Advanced Journalism, Psychology, Epidemology, French 4, Pre Calc/Trig</p>

<p>I am a grad of the class of 74. I follow CC as a result of my daughter who attends a boarding school and was accepted ED I at Vanderbilt. But for her desire to have a warmer climate she would have applied to Brandeis. I had a great experience at Brandeis and highly recommend it. I was an Irish/Italian kid who loved Brandeis and did not find it overly ethic then and it is more diverse now. Bring up your ACT and perhaps take the SAT's. Your GPA is impressive and I would say you have a very good chance. Your class rank will also serve you well. Show interst in the school and if you really like it apply early. They like to see a high level of interest. Visit if you can as well.</p>
