<p>i also sent in an essay i wrote for a contest that i won, along with a picture and a why i want to go to brandeis essay-they dont ask for one</p>
<p>my school doesnt rank</p>
<p>Congrats to both of you! I swear it must have been my essay that got me in, because my test scores are so incredibly low. My essay was pretty offbeat though, which Brandeis seems to like.</p>
<p>By the way if you want to meet other people who got in ED and are comfortable with it, you should get a Facebook at <a href="http://www.facebook.com%5B/url%5D">www.facebook.com</a>. It's a site where you make a profile and the only people who can see it are people who go to your school, and the only way you can make one is with a student email address, so it's pretty safe. We have a group called the Incoming Class of 2010 where a few of us have organized various AIM and MSN chatrooms just for ED kids so we can get to know each other, find prospective roommates, etc. </p>
<p>I've found it as a pretty good way of meeting people since I don't know a single person my age in Boston, just older family members. If you (or your children) are at all nervous about not knowing people, I would really suggest it.</p>
<p>Im soo excited! i got facebook for it, btw your test scores arn't that low! hehe i did much worse, i got 1710! but my act scores were decent. Whatever doesnt matter now that we are in, but i think it was my essay also. talk to you on facebook!</p>
