Students are inundated with mailings and e-mails, and many students have communicated to us that they would prefer fewer of both. In speaking with prospective students about this very issue, it seems the vast majority of publications mailed to students are disposed of without ever having been viewed. Even e-mails are beginning to go to spam/junk e-mail.

As an Admissions Counselor, I am more interested in having a conversation with a student and/or responding to a student that has specific questions, usually articulated over the phone or in a personal e-mail. If a student requests more information, we will send it, but personal interaction seems to have worked for us. I strongly urge you and your daughter not to get discouraged or to interpret a lack of mailings as an indication of your daughter’s admissibility.

As always, I am more than happy to bring any constructive criticism with me to our next staff meeting, and I appreciate the feedback.
