<p>I thought I clearly said that I was getting letters not just for one fundraising gala, but also the university parent’s council asking for money!</p>
<p>I am sorry, but NYU has really gotten off on the wrong foot with me by being so pushy right from the start. Like I said, IMO they should have let parents build up a relationship with the school first. </p>
<p>I don’t have complaints about my D’s experience with the school per se, other than this!</p>
<p>btw, i am familiar with the concept of parents as donors. I recall the incredible fondness my parents had for my alma mater and how they were loyal donors for many years. I can’t imagine, though, that the school hit them over the head like this and not right off the bat. Again, though, maybe it’s the difference between an LAC and a university. (and well-endowed colleges at that).</p>
