AdaQuince - I agree with you on some aspects, but I sent my first e-mail a month and a half ago, even before applying. I understand taking a couple of weeks or so to get a reply, but a month and a half is unexcusable! They send out e-mails before they send out the letters (they say in the e-mail that the letters might take a while to arrive) and you have to accept/decline the offer online, so I wouldn’t exactly say that "Getting acceptance letters/offers is probably the Admissions office number one priority right now. "

Also, if they took the time to send me my letter and the immigration info, they could’ve sent the ‘whole thing’, as they apparently did for all American applicants. As for your last statement “Better to get a simple word of good news, research the glossy content online, and hope that the savings is being directed towards a great acting program”, I would agree completely, except for the fact that they DO produce tons of brochures and they DO send them to all the students, except for me. And I have researched everything online and still didn’t find the information on their site satisfactory, that’s why I was expecting a brochure or an answer to my questions via e-mail. I got none.

Besides, there is the simple fact that I need other documents from the college to apply for a student’s visa, not only a letter and a terrible xerox of a document giving me tips on how to do it.
