<p>dlisted, I understand your point, but I do agree with Skribe. While I would have liked some more communication from Emory after I was accepted, I do not consider the lack of material a fatal flaw by any means. I view this as a marketing issue.</p>
<p>I was an educated “consumer” when I applied to Emory. Emory was great about answering all of my questions and informing me of everything I needed to know before I choose Emory as my first choice college.</p>
<p>After that point, they have answered all of my questions. I did not get any financial aid, so I cannot comment on their communication. Wish I would have received some…I would have accepted any level of communication. The housing information and meal plans are not important to me in making my college decision. Perhaps this is a higher priority for you, but I don’t know anyone that is comparing meal plans and housing information as an important part of choosing their college.</p>
<p>I guess, what I am saying is to try to get to the core of what your daughter wants from her college. I know we have all learned that products with great marketing materials do not always have the best products. It takes a deeper analysis to really understand the product. For me, the why Emory essay tells my story. What did you daughter write? Are those things still true to her?</p>
<p>I do not want to belittle your concerns, and do understand your views. I hope you can prioritize the important things your daughter is looking for in a college to make the best decision. </p>
<p>On a side note, my decision was confirmed to attend Emory when I heard Chipotle was moving to campus. To go to a college with great programs and a Chick-fil-a, Starbucks and Chipotle is like winning the lottery! I hope the Chipotle rumor is true! Guess you know where my priorities are now!</p>
