<p>Oberlin did not send me ANY promotional material before the app process,save for ONE and I mean ONE brochure.Colgate,otoh,bombarded me with materials constantly and e-mails every other time I blinked.I got so inundated with their stuff that it put me off and I didn’t apply.I think sometimes the “courting” can actually repel applicants.Anyhow,I completely understand what an unexpected shock it can be for a college that showed interest to suddenly just reject someone.</p>
