Any advantage to being Jewish?

The part of the question regarding whether Brandeis has a limit on acceptances form a particular school is valid, but only they would know. In general, colleges do have certain schools they repeatedly take good sized groups of kids from and 4 would not be an outlandish number of strong applicants from a strong school (especially since, unless this is ED, probably 1 or more would enroll elsewhere).
I would be surprised if the Jewish student was given an edge over an equal applicant, as Brandeis has an easier time attracting Jewish students than nonJewish students, although the % of Jewish students keeps dropping. Good luck.
