So I received a lot of priority applicant status emails and letters etc. I have a pretty decent GPA and SAT range (compared to that of most of the schools, anyways) and have ignored most as I wasn’t really interested in them.
I did get two from two schools I liked and had crossed off the list for cost and simplicity sake. I figured “why not”? I was interested and it gave me a short app with no fee, so let’s give it a shot.
Only recently have I heard about it being used as a sort of marketing scheme (after I used the app for one school) and I’m slightly concerned.
Are those apps just garbage? Am I really being considered for some money, quick admission info, etc or was that just me being encouraged to apply? If so I’ll apply through common app otherwise as I don’t want to hurt my chances for these schools.
Any feedback is appreciated; thanks!
