aviva-down: That’s so awesome that you’re interested in the J.S. major! I know that cost is a factor for you but do look into Brandeis. Unfortunately, many strong J.S. programs are on the East Coast. So that might be why you’re having trouble making a bigger list of schools that you could potentially get in. If you’re very determined to achieve this major, I would just apply to East coast schools that you like that have J.S. programs and see what happens with the aid. Definitely talk up the departments there. If the school doesn’t have J.S. as a major, it most will likely to have it as a minor instead. Still awesome.

If you’re a woman, I would look into Smith or Mt. Holyoke- they give generous aid to EVERYONE who applies that really needs the money. I know that both of these schools have fabulous JS departments but don’t really offer it as a major. However, they do let you self-design the major as long you have a plan and plan on taking Hebrew.
