Does college mail mean anything?

The marketing department (it probably has a loftier name, like “institutional advancement”) is not connected to the admissions office. My kids got mail from colleges they would never have gotten into, and from colleges they wouldn’t have considered attending. Trust me–if you get mail from Princeton, it doesn’t mean they have the slightest interest in you personally.
