Please Chance Me for Brandeis

<p>I have a 97.31 GPA (I think it's weighted because my school only gives one on the transcript). I am 18th in my class out of 250 (top 10%), but the class total drops weekly so that number might go down. I have an 1840 on the SAT, and I just retook it this weekend. If it doesn't go up considerably I will not submit it, so please don't consider it.</p>

<p>My Common App is essay is really good, and it is a product that I can be pleased with. Essentially, it's about how my interest in history has shaped my entire life from when I was younger, and how it continues to shape my academic interests, volunteer work, and future career plans. My recommendations should be good because I asked 2 AP teachers that know me really well because I took all of their offered classes and my guard coach, who has instructed me for six years, since middle school.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>I would say that you have a pretty good chance. Try to increase your SAT! “Essentially, it’s about how my interest in history has shaped my entire life from when I was younger, and how it continues to shape my academic interests, volunteer work, and future career plans.” is so general. Please don’t be cliche …</p>

<p>I would not consider my essay to be cliche, only my summary of it on here. I have had it read by 3 different AP teachers and worked with them throughout the drafting process, and they have all approved. Cliches would not make it past their criticism. </p>
