<p>IMO looks pretty good</p>

<p>Scores are great, GPA is really good.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

3

<p>^
you call those scores great???
A 2040???</p>

<p>I know Brandeis isn't as selective as Harvard, but still...</p>

4

<p>so you wouldnt say a 2040 is a good score for brandeis??</p>

5

<p>umm a 2040 is just about in the middle (probably a tad-bit lower), in terms of what a Brandeis student has.</p>

<p>To be honest, your GPA is fine. It's not spectacular, though. </p>

<p>You were consistent with your ECs, worked and always took a challenging schedule.</p>

<p>IMHO, it's a slight-slight reach. Make sure your essays and recs are outstanding. Demonstrate lots of interest. (Visit, call, etc.) </p>

<p>I would, of course, be sure to apply to some safeties.</p>
