Sulsk, I didn’t say it was impossible. But the fact is that there are some Jewish kids who posted their stats who have better grades & SAT scores than some of the Asian kids who posted but didn’t get the aid.

All you have to do is go through the postings in this thread and it is pretty easy to see how the aid dollars were allocated to this year’s Blue Ribbon applicants. Of course that is based on the assumption that we have a representative sample posting here. And the way aid is distributed among the BR apps may be very different from the ED or RD pools, since BR is clearly part of a strategic outreach plan and is likely to attract a significant number of applicants who do not consider Brandeis a top choice.
