Letter from Andover and Exeter? Is it important?

Whereas I can see how misleading and maybe disappointing it might be to receive a letter inviting a candidate to apply who eventually gets turned down, the auto letter that gets my goat is the one the school sends inviting you to their summer school after they’ve turned you down for regular admission, telling you you don’t have to go thru the summer application process, that you’ve been “pre-approved” because they have already screened you. That shouts, “we just want your money.”

Okay, so my child is good enuf for your summer school, but not your regular school. That’s really insulting…no need to tell you which file that letter quickly got filed in.
