Brandeis University

Above all, the admissions officers looking over your transcripts will be looking for evidence that you've taken on new challenges. You must be engaged in a college preparatory course of study or an equivalent homeschool environment to be considered for first-year admission.

At the very least, this should include:

English has been studied for four years.
Mathematics for three years.
Three years of laboratory science training.
Social sciences for three years.
Studying a foreign language for two to three years is recommended (s).

When honours, advanced placement, or international baccalaureate-level curriculum was available at their school, the majority of applicants took it. Although there is no minimum GPA requirement for admission to Brandeis, more than three-quarters of those who are accepted graduate in the top 20% of their high school class.
