If you encounter anyone in the community who claims to be from a college’s admissions office but isn’t designated as a College Rep, please let us know and be wary of any advice provided before that person is so designated.

In addition, since our College Reps are busy people, please do NOT start threads asking for help specifically from the Rep - please post the query to the community in general, and you’ll be likely to get multiple informed views on the subject.

<p>Hi! Your arrival sent me scurrying to my books, curious about Justice Louis Brandeis </p>
<p>Two good ones: on the University:

The ability of big men is overrated, and that of small men underrated. Give a man opportunity and responsibility, and he will grow.

<p>Welcome to the community of College Confidential!</p>
<p>Welcome! Brandeis was one of my daughter's top choices a few years ago, although she ended up at another school. But I'm a high school teacher and have recommended Brandeis to several great students since then. I've been very favorably impressed with Brandeis.</p>
<p>Thank you for all your welcoming wishes and all the great things you've had to say about Brandeis. I hope to be able to help you all out a bit with the search process and clear up any misconceptions/unanswered questions that may be on this forum. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Jeff Wong

<p>Welcome, Jeff. Like ReneeV, I've often recommended Brandeis, too, and I hope that your presence here will inspire some CC members to take a closer look.</p>
