<p>I got a letter from Dave Smith about The Writing Seminars a couple days ago. Even though I don't think I'm going to Johns Hopkins, I thought that this was really a very nice gesture. Does every department at JHU send letters to the admitted students who listed a major in their department?</p>
<p>I got one from the math department.</p>
<p>I like that. I think that it's a good way for JHU to connect with students after giving them their acceptances. I'm a fan. :)</p>
<p>Son also got a letter from Prof Smith. A very nice touch. Said that Admissions people thought he was a fine writer. Son is visiting CMU today. We'll see.</p>
<p>I didn't get one, but I guess it varies from dept. to dept</p>
<p>Each Department has the opportunity to send letters to admits - about half choose to do so.</p>
