Official 2010 Brandeis RD Decision Thread

<p>I'm not sure. My mailing address is different from my home address so I only heard second-hand. I doubt I got a scholarship though. My parents sold my grandpartents' house this year so I didn't even fill out a financial aid form, not with what the tax return says.</p>

<p>I was referring to, "You might have gotten mid-year because your EFC is too low and they want to save money, as they aren't "need-blind"." </p>

<p>When I called Brandeis, they told me they were a need blind institution.</p>

<p>I'll have to check</p>

<p>i got in with scholarship
just in case you were wondering</p>

<p>got in with at 17000 thousand $ scholorship a yr.
96 ave
not top 10%
30 ACT
full IB program</p>

<p>YAY</p>

<p>Descant... obvoiusly they told you they were need blind... if they didnt they would sound like jerks. Thats just my opinion.
It does seem like they have given out a bunch of scholarships, though.</p>

<p>i got a full scholarship 2...ne1 gonna use those as bargain tools with other schools..im gona try my best to use it with DUke..</p>

<p>I was accepted, but no mention of any scholarship or anything. </p>
