Anyone else get one of those giant packets in the mail? (HS Class of '11)

<p>I got one of those giant books in the mail like the ones you get at most schools when you go on tour and there was also a full-out application attached for me to fill out (assuming I actually apply there...). I'm just wondering if anyone else got it. I personally find it a little annoying how they're sending me all this mail, especially since this most likely isn't "we want you to come to Wash U and will accept you" but rather "we want you to apply to increase our selectivity" type of deal >.<.</p>

<p>I haven't even visited Wash U yet. How is it? I've heard the dorms are nice and the premed program is obviously awesome haha (I'm most likely not doing premed though).</p>

<p>Get used to it. You will get this from dozens of colleges, there is nothing to be annoyed about. </p>

<p>My son got tons of mail from Yale and Columbia in addition to WashU. It’s not all about increasing selectivity.</p>

<p>Definitely get used to it for WashU…they send of LOTS of mail.</p>

<p>I got one from WuSTL last year as well. No big deal. (Got waitlisted by the way).</p>

5

<p>I got one. It almost seems like they’re offering me a spot at the school right now, which obviously isn’t the case. I am going to apply to Olin, though.</p>

<p>cavsfan that’s how i feel too! i’m probably going to apply also but i just find it annoying that they’re trying to get my to apply even though they may not actually want ME</p>

<p>get used to it or try and get your name off the mailing list cause EVERY school does that. even harvard, lol</p>

8

<p>ehh some of the SUNYs who are sending me stuff might actually want me lol</p>

<p>I got one (along with their highest scholarship this spring). It’s not always “increasing selectivity.”</p>
