Calm down, take a deep breath.
Everything will be fine…

Now here are the facts:
Based on the bit of info you’ve given me, it sounds like you’d be an excellent candidate.
To answer your other question about ED, here’s the answer:
If it’s really your top choice school, you should apply ED. It always helps, for two reasons:

1. It shows the school your really interested. Yes you can say this all you want, but nothing proves it like an ED application.

2. You’re competing for more spots. When you apply RD some spots have already been filled by ED applicants and recruited athletes. When you apply ED, the field is wide open.

Also, make sure you have an interview and do a good job. Come prepared to discuss why in particular you want to go to Brandeis, etc.

Best of luck to you.
