<p>I also got into Spelman and Indiana University.I applied to Dartmouth but I didnt take the SAT subject tests so I will not be getting into their school. Originally before Brandeis came into the picture my choices were between Howard and Spelman. Spelman was my first choice throughout high school and then a couple of months ago I changed it to Howard because I felt like that had more to offer than Spelman. And NewHavenCTmom is correct the money is on a first come first serve basis, even if you qualify it is possible that you will not receive any funds. That is what happened to me. My financial aid package is pure loans. Everyone is making a lot of sense about Brandeis. I do not feel like I can at all overlook this school. If I can, I am going to attend admitted students day. </p>
