<p>Just wondering if anyone could help me out…is Brandeis a good match for me?</p>

<p>Really quickly my stats are:</p>

<p>White female from new england, not jewish or religious at all really</p>

<p>basically all honors classes in high school, 3 AP my senior year–literature, spanish, macroeconomics</p>

<p>SAT I- M 680, CR 720, W 780 (total 2180)
SAT II- Math 2-650, Lit-640
Just took SAT II again, math 2, lit, and spanish w/ listening</p>

<p>HS GPA only about a 3.5 or 3.6</p>

<p>ECs: black belt in karate (7 years)
teaching karate (2 years)
community service club (3 years), secretary of club (1 year)
National Honor Society
Spanish National Honor Society
thats it</p>

<p>Your stats look like you're in the right ballpark for Brandeis but not high enough to be a "sure thing" --would depend on essay, interview, and whether they feel the school would be a good fit for you-also how interested they are in your karate credentials--most applicants have more ECs than you do and
New England does not add geographic diversity. ED II could improve your chances.</p>

<p>good SAT
Ok GPA
Not the best ECS (but the karate is a "kick")</p>

<p>I would say you have a chance, and agree that if you really like Brandeis apply ED II, it would vastly help your chances.</p>

<p>With those SAT scores, I'd say you've got a great chance of getting in.</p>

<p>thanks for the input people, i'll look into ED II</p>

<p>But do keep in mind that ED can decrease the likelihood of a good financial aid package-- since you have to commit before you can compare other offers.</p>
