is it a bribe?

<p>i've gotten like 50 e-mails and stuff in the mail from st. josephs offering me like 40,000 a year scholarships if i apply and they like me or something, but my sats are like 1100 so why does this happen?</p>

<p>I think they do this for everyone, my SAT's are 1430 and I received offers for a $20,000 a year scholarship, if you look at the details of the scholarships you can determine whether or not you actually qualify (I believe it's based on your SAT's and your GPA.) They don't actually check beforehand which scholarship tier you qualify for</p>
