<p>hmmm…your friends stats are very impressive. Before you jump to the conclusion that Brandeis is biased, here are 2 facts I’m aware of:</p>
<p>1) There are happy Muslim students at Brandeis. I don’t know how many (is there some org like Hillel that might have info on this? Maybe the MSA?) </p>
<p>2) I have a friend who is a very very active and committed Jew. He won a major high school competition which included a journalism internship and a free trip to Israel, for example. Many Jewish interests, activities etc. He was accepted at Columbia and UofC, denied at Brandeis. </p>
<p>That’s it for my 2 facts. Here’s my opinion: sometimes Brandeis feels they’re being applied to as a safety and they may not like that. Or you could phrase that differently and say that they care about their yield…</p>
