<p>Hey guys! </p>
<p>I'm a freshman at Brandeis University, and I'm thinking about transferring (already, I know).
First off, I really like the school... but the campus just isn't anything to be desired, and I really hate how small it is, 3,400 is just too tiny. Thirdly, I thought I would like how the campus is only twenty-five minutes away from Harvard Sq, and thirty-five from Boston, but in reality, it's such a closed off campus that nobody really ever leaves the school. All in all, I don't like how strictly Jewish the school is, there's no room for diversity... It's either your Jewish, or you're Asian here. </p>
<p>All in all, the academics are extremely strong, students are extremely motivated, but I just don't feel that it is the place for me. </p>
<p>I am a Freshman who took UWS (freshman writing seminar) over the summer to get ahead.
I received an A (4.0) in that class and am taking:
Intro to MicroEconomics
Intro to Political Theory
The American Presidency (Pol113)
French 10 </p>
<p>I am also in The Debate Team (ranked #2 in the country, only second to Yale University)
I am a School Senator and I'm treasurer of the Tennis Team. </p>
<p>I'm shooting for between a 3.88-3.94 for this first semester and it looks like I'll probably get that. </p>
<p>I really want to apply to Columbia, do you think I can get in?</p>
<p>I am double majoring in Political Science (Politics) and Economics.</p>
