We were on the email list of the well known schools who communicated with us as if we had submitted an application. We never requested info from this school, I know why they were encouraging us to apply but it was odd when we got the information letting us know how decisions were going to be communicated. Someone did not scrub the list, and the message really started to feel impersonal near the end since the school was not on our list. Most of the other schools sent periodic info, nothing extreme. The information started flowing once the acceptance letter arrived. We got letters from current students, coaches, AO, and Alumni in the area. The acceptance package from the school where my son is now a student was quite impressive and filled with many personal notes from different people. I like the old way of sending the information in the mail, seems so much more personal than email.
