is mail volume meaningful?

I’m enjoying some of the mail. One school has sent long letters (not personal or personalized except in that they were clearly selected for our demographic out of an array of such letters) that hit their intended mark and made me feel much better about the school. And one sent cheerful Thanksgiving cards that dressed up our refrigerator. But I don’t read too much into the personal notes. Although I have noticed that my son gets more attention than his sister from several schools. I attribute this - perhaps wrongly - to his SSAT scores, which were high and have been reported to schools, while my daughter will be taking the test in January.
