Why does Fordham keep sending me emails and letters telling me to apply?

Apply RD? Their computer program for mailing lists is apparently separate from the program which monitors applicants records. I think this happens a lot.

One very important thing to remember when applying to colleges, which is hard to do by anyone on a good day, is to separate the admissions offices from the university. The admissions offices have nothing whatever to do with the academic standing of a university, its programs, its distinguished faculty, its vibrant and diverse student body (well…admissions is the team which selects them but that is all…it ends there.)

The admissions process is quirky and often very unfair.
