is mail volume meaningful?

Two observations:


Though 7D1 was 1 question away from a perfect score on the SSAT, the unsolicited mailings from schools not on our radar never happened (as has been reported by others). I am curious if this was because of her ORM status.
More important, IMO, than how much correspondence you get from any given school is the amount of responsiveness from schools when the applicant/family had a question pre-M10. The two schools to which 7D1 was accepted were very prompt…one even returning a call over a weekend. The one where she was rejected, they got back to us…eventually.
