<p>How many times is Columbia going to mail me their blue album? I just got another one in the mail. Yay, I have 5 copies of it now >_<. And I gave two away. Is anyone else getting 85876768686778 copies of the blue album?!? ahhhh! paper waste!</p>
<p>That’s their way of reinforcing the psychological effects of the likely letter.</p>
<p>sorry pigs.</p>
<p>so the problem with columbia or any university that does automatic mailings is the fact that they might have your name on file for a variety of reasons. its like when you have double entries to an event, its hard to sift and tell it is different.</p>
<p>so let’s say your name comes into their database via reason a, b, c, d; it might lead to duplicity of information, especially if your name, address or other identifiable information is worded at all differently across reasons a, b, c, d (whether it has you at one school or another, with or without a social security number; imagine the permutations). further - this time you got the blue album could have been purposefully because you were a likely student irrespective of if you received it before. considering the blue album is the best way for a student to get a visual and textual representation of columbia from afar.</p>
<p>though it is annoying, perhaps, it means: a) they like you (i mean why wouldn’t they, you seem cool), b) you guys probably have many ways that have linked each other - from lists you’ve signed up for, to accomplishments that cu has heard about, it means you guys have mutually developed such a courtship.</p>
<p>You always give the best answers admissionsgeek!! :)</p>
<p>When I got the mail, I was like <em>facepalm</em> not again!</p>
