Palier, first I’m sorry for what you’ve endured. I can’t imagine how difficult that must have been.

The issue here is intent. With the exception of informing under served minorities, which is noble and has been shown to be beneficial, mailers have a single purpose, to drive up applications. One of the top quantifiable metrics used by USNWR is selectivity. You can’t reject a bunch of applicants, thus being selective, if a bunch don’t apply. Mailers are part of a a calculated plan to drive acceptance rates down and thus drive USNWR rankings up. Nothing in your transcript drives this.
