<p>Based on what you are telling me, I really think she’s a reasonable candidate.</p>
<p>If you and her think that she and Brandeis would be perfect for each other, you’re halfway there. Now you just need to convince Brandeis.</p>
<p>I think you should do what I stated above. ED will make a <em>huge</em> difference – Brandeis really values people who really want to go there, and the best way you can express this is by applying ED. </p>
<p>Make sure she has an interview – and make it a good one. Come prepared to discuss what <em>in particular</em> about Brandeis is appealing. </p>
<p>I don’t know what b’shert means, but it <em>sounds</em> like a good thing. :)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
