@UVaParent2022 I would think those emails are similar to the solicitations Harvard and other Ivy League institutions sends to prospective students, through Email, USPS mail, and otherwise: “just basic recruiting emails.” If Harvard has no problem sending thousands and thousands of students with absolutely no hope of getting in similarly worded spam, then I don’t think UVA would have a problem with it. I’m not saying whether that is a good or bad thing to do–but from my experience applying to colleges it just seemed like an “industry-standard” type of thing.
