<p>DeskPotato,
It sounds like your daughter will be competitive for Brandeis. You will have a better idea once she takes the SATs. It’s always tricky knowing what schools to look at at this stage of the process. I think it’s okay to take your daughter to see a school that may be a reach. If she loves the school, it will motivate her to keep her grades up and prep for the SATs. I recommend taking her to visit Brandeis and a few other possibilites. Include some schools that are less selective and encourage her to find some safeties that she likes. If Brandeis still feels like her B’shert after the visits, have her apply early decision. That will increase her chances. Good luck!</p>
