<p>Brandeis is a good match school. Make sure to demonstrate interest to let them know that it is a top choice!</p>

<p>I visited twice. Once I had an info session/tour and the other I had an interview and lunch with a student. Is that enough? I also wrote my admissions counselor a letter introducing myself.</p>

<p>Yes, that is perfect. The only thing left now is probably to keep your grades up to show that you aren’t slacking in your senior year. Best of luck!</p>
