<p>Similar situation here as the above post. Daughter with 2300 SAT, in the top 5% of her class, extensive EC’s and excellent teacher recs. was accepted to Brandeis with no merit aid. She had visited the campus more than once and had interviewed on campus. FWIW, we had read in The Justice, and it was later confirmed by the admissions staffer who interviewed D last summer, that Brandeis was going to significantly cut back on offering merit aid in favor of need-based aid, so D knew that this might happen. While it was disappointing at first, D has also received very good offers from other schools, so her Brandeis outcome is now water under the bridge, and she’s moved on. Best of luck to all the students who will be enrolling there this fall.</p>
