Also remember that Admissions/Financial Aid offices are very busy right now. They may have to triage emails/questions and will eventually get back to you (hopefully soon). Remember all the students who are eagerly sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear news. Getting acceptance letters/offers is probably the Admissions office number one priority right now.

One other thing to keep in mind…fancy glossies and marketing packages = higher cost for the school and they are going to pass that down to students through the tuition bill. We have a stack of glossies at least a foot high or more from schools all over. Some brochures sent multiple times. Some from schools that seem to exist in someone’s imagination. The price tag for these materials must be huge. 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 or some other worthwhile purpose that will benefit the students who are paying tuition.
