<p>Do you guys know how they chose the blue ribbon applications. I got one with very low Stats (1220 M+V, 3.5uw)..... I think if you were on the mailing list they sent you one because I dont stand a chance of getting in.... However I believe you will be accepted and may even get scholarship</p>

4

<p>^ I don't know either, I got one with a 30 ACT and ~3.5UW GPA...so, who knows...</p>

<p>Anyway, you have a great chance of getting in!</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback guys! BTW ericg1, I am hoping for a merit scholarship to convince my parents to let me attend.</p>

<p>Thats weird, I got one too with so so scores (650V 670M 650W), but I have been on the mailing list for a while. I was considering applying through common app. Just because its easier, but do you think they give priority for using the blue ribbon app?</p>

<p>What are these blue ribbon apps? I have been on their mailing list (i think) and I sent my SAT scores to them in may and june (750V 720M 740W) and don't know anything about this.</p>

<p>Last year, the blue ribbons typically went to out of state applicants that visited/showed interest. Also, last year, Brandeis sent letters to parents asking if they had anything to add - if your mom gets one of these, tell her to take it seriously, and include a letter. I think the OP has an excellent chance for admission, and a good shot for a merit scholarship.</p>
