How to interpret UChicago's mail

I am a National Merit semi-finalist so I think that has something to do with me getting large quantities of mail from dozens of schools. UChicago’s by far stands out as the most detailed and thorough, and it’s definitely made me more interested. My question is…do they send the same letters and brochures to every other kid, just to boost applicant numbers? Or are they actually sending them as thoughtfully as they seem to be writing them?

I hate the thought of falling for the “we want YOU” trap if I’m just going to be denied in the end anyway…
