My son’s a political hound and went to an informational session on Brandeis. He was very excited about the school, particularly focus on social justice/politics. His verbal SAT is high, but Math is just OK, and his grades in Math and Chemistry are very weak, dragging his GPA down to around 3.2, despite AP HIstory and Honors English (No AP this year). His EC include 3 years in the YMCA Youth & Govt program. Would we be wasting our time and money, and setting him up for disappointment by applying?
