<p>I got this award in my Junior year. I was the only one in my grade. Does anyone else know what it means in terms of admittance? Current Brown students - did any of u get this award?</p>
<p>son's friend got it-going to columbia. I honestly don't think it means much-I mean congrats, it is definitely an honor to receive any award, but I dont think it will have any bearing on admittance. But, definitley put it on resume</p>
<p>It does not mean anything in terms of admission. The head of your schools English dept. decides who gets the award...most of them are sponsored by the alumni associations and are basically away to get top students interested/aware of the school. Congrats though, and good luck!</p>
<p>yeah, I got that last year also...I'm under the impression that it means the most with regards to you being the best English student in your grade, rather than being associated with a particular school</p>
