Admissions Overview
Brandeis is selective, accepting 39.41% of applicants. This means you need strong academics but it's not as competitive as the most top schools. Admitted students typically score between 1370-1530 on the SAT, with an average of 1450, or around 33 on the ACT. These scores put you in the top 10% nationally. Since Brandeis was founded by the Jewish community in 1948 with a mission of social justice, the school looks for students who care about making a difference in the world. They want intellectually curious students who will engage with big questions about ethics, justice, and human rights while pursuing rigorous academics across liberal arts and sciences.
