My D is applying to Brandeis and has just learned that at least 3 others from her HS are also applying. They are all excellent students. I was wondering:

1. Is there an advantage to being Jewish? She is very competitive with the other 3, but she is the only one who is Jewish.

2. Does Brandeis accept only a certain number of students from any particular HS?

Thanks!
