<p>Brandeis really does use money to buy the students they’d like to have, and that’s ok. Look hard enough and you’ll find a Brandeis Scholar with middling stats and wonder how they got the scholarship. But that’s the way it goes in college admissions. Caution with Brandeis Scholarship is the requirement of minimum 3.10 GPA in either of first two semesters and 3.20 cumulative thereafter. You gotta work hard to keep it.</p>
