Graduation rate: 89.1%
Brandeis University, located just outside of Boston, has about 5,000 students, both undergraduate and graduate. It’s a fairly young university, founded in 1948, by Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Leonard Bernstein, Abraham Maslov, and its namesake Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. The social justice mission that it was founded on still exists today. Love their motto . . . “Where intellectual meets unconventional.”
Some interesting facts about Brandeis:
- Average student does 2 to 3 internships during undergrad
- High placement rates into medical school (75%), law school (91%), dental school (88%), and arts and sciences graduate programs (100%)
- Offers Division 1 Fencing
- Over 260 clubs and most popular is a community service club
- 2/3 of students are involved in some form of athletics
Do you think this college could be a fit for you?
If you think Brandeis may be a fit, I highly recommend a campus visit. Brandeis even offers an optional interview. Certainly if you feel that you can present yourself better in person, than in writing, that interview could help your application portfolio. Either way, the campus visit can tell you a lot about whether it truly is a place where you want to spend 4 years.
