Do emails from schools prior to admission have any significance?

I will tell you this much - there were only 2 schools that didn’t email us back after multiple inquiries…Another, after the second email, sent a rather harsh email stating that they need X & Y athletes…one school never answered email requests, so we did not waste our time applying - we later found out that the school brings in part-time instructors and off-campus coaches…BTW, the schools that offered information and communicated promptly were at the top of our list… Thank you to those AO’s, coaches, and instructors who answered my kid’s email…you set a great example as an adult on how to do things right…As parents, we value communication and respect for the students who are working so hard to apply…it said something about the school culture…maybe not at the top of Forbes list, but at the top of ours.
