Thank you everyone for your input. My DD has applied ED to Brandeis. It really came down to which school she felt most comfortable with and Brandeis was where she really felt she would fit even if she wasn’t playing softball. For softball, the Brandeis conference is slightly more competitive but she really loved both coaches so that was making her decision a tough one. We’re all happy with the decision even though our wallets will most likely be a bit lighter over the next 4 years.
