When my daughter made her final decision a few weeks ago, she went into her portals and informed the other universities that accepted her of her decision not to attend. We are still getting a ton of mail and email from some of those schools. Is anyone else experience this? Should I have my daughter go back into her portals and “make sure” that they received her message that she’s not attending.
It may just be that their mailing lists haven’t caught up with the portals.
have her check one more time , and after that just toss them.
And have check that the college that she will attending knows that as well.
Some hope that she will change her mind before May 1. One school emailed my dd in Sept. that they were holding her scholarship until Jan. 1 in case she didn’t like the school she picked.
She’s already deposited, done all the check lists, signed up to schedule classes, did the survey for her faculty advisor, etc…so I think she’s good for her accepted college. We have all the printed confirmations and their communications have been great… I will have her re-check the portals for the other schools still reaching out to her. Hopefully though it’s just a “catch up” problem.
For the emails, there is usually an “unsubscribe” link…have her click those to stop the emails
Good luck. My son was a college graduate and still received snail mail from colleges.
DD got mostly emails…and those did stop…thank goodness. But she got some mailings…and really they are I possible to stop.
Eventually they will stop. Eventually!
@thumper1 College mail AFTER graduating college. Ha and Urgh! ; )
Yep…college mail for UNDERGRAD after graduating college. Ridiculous.
My D’s safety big state U kept sending her stuff for months - housing requests, orientation day, etc. even though she had properly denied. I think I finally sent a personal letter or email to a specific person and it finally stopped.
We had a similar problem where she actually enrolled, where they just couldn’t get something straight and recourse to a specific person took care of it. At a big institution, sometimes the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.
It is nice how some schools keep everything on file for a year just in case.
And my son who will be a college sophomore still gets snail mail and email from Baylor telling him to apply as a freshman. SMH about that one.
Nope. The mail has stopped from the other schools. He’ll still get post cards from schools he didn’t apply to every now and then.
