I agree with contacting the relevant departments, deans, etc. But frankly it would have been nice if the admissions officer at least responded with a quick email nicely suggesting that.

As twoinanddone pointed out, the (non)responses you got from the admissions office and whatever types of responses you get going forward are telling you something about the school. If she goes to this school, these are the professors, deans and assorted admins she’s going to have to deal with for four years. Do they see their job as being helpful to students or is it going to be an exercise in frustration for four years?
