A student in my year was awarded an award by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, with a 60k scholarship. It is clear that the Harvard Prize Book Award doesn’t guarantee admission to Harvard College, but when the school offers a scholarship, can the same conclusion be drawn? I mean, I find it hard to believe that RPI would “offer” a scholarship as a marketing ploy, only to not accept the student when he applies.
