Once again, rounding up candidates for this week’s Blindest Date was as difficult as ever. If there is one thing scene has learned from organizing three dating spreads so far, it’s that you cannot expect anything from anyone, and you definitely cannot control what your ultimate list of contenders will look like. So yes, as you might have noticed, we have three seniors and two freshmen this week. Make it what you will: a mentor-pupil-creepy date between the seasoned grad-to-be and the Yale novice, or maybe you can give two lucky seniors one last chance to enjoy fine New Haven dining. Read these gals’ profiles, go to the scene blog and vote, vote, vote! The two highest scorers will win a chance to make something happen … and scene hopes it’s love.
