<p>Shouldn’t the communication from all those other colleges and universities be dropping rapidly to zero as your son notifies him that he has been accepted elsewhere under an Early Decision agreement?</p>
<p>Our experience (RD, not ED) a couple of years ago was that there was wide variation in post-admission communication among universities. Indeed, I think one reason our daughter chose the university we’d all thought was her safety over the one we’d all thought she was destined for was that the former safety wrote or called her every week or so, and the former favorite was as uncommunicative as you’re describing VT to be. I totally get why you’re frustrated–maybe even dismayed–but I am sure there will be more communication from VT in the spring, when there’s actually more business to attend to.</p>
