Did anyone receive a "special invitation or "priority Application" from Brandeis?
I know they did this in previous years and there is no fee for using this applications so I am wondering if they are doing it again this year. Did anyone receive one yet? Thanks.
Well, it's to encourage students to consider a school that they might not otherwise consider, so yes it's "to get more people to apply."
I don't see how this constitutes a "trick." Schools that use this tool are generally pretty above-board about it and rarely represent it as something that it's not.
