talk about a school showing interest in a student!

Hmm, I like the idea of this! Grad schools go through a whole lot of personal effort to recruit students (faculty call to accept students, the department pays for students to come for a campus visit, grad students pick up admitted students from the airport and may even house these students, etc.), and I’ll admit that I felt flattered throughout the entire process.

I don’t quite know how I would have reacted if an adcomm member showed up on my doorstep and handed me my acceptance later (I think I would have probably peed my pants out of shock and nervousness), but I think the effort to make college admission more personalized is great.
