<p>A while back, I received a lovely gift from WUSTL in the form of a book discussing all of their undergraduate programs and requirements and descriptions of the classes. It's about 370 or so pages, and the print is very small. </p>

<p>Is this common? I was very intrigued by this. I mean, I've gotten catalogs, but this surprised me. Of course some friends were like, "that means you have to get in" but I received it before I even finished my application, so I'm not even going to pretend they want me that bad. Haha.</p>

<p>I just hardly know what to make of it. Did you get one?</p>

<p>everybody gets one</p>

<p>WUSTL is known for sending their course catalogs. Do not confuse it with a letter of admission.</p>

<p>Do they? Huh. I feel kinda silly now, but thank you.</p>

<p>And I didn’t, believe me.</p>

<p>I seriously think sending the books to everyone is a BIG waste of money.</p>

<p>Yea… it seems really silly to send this thing out. It has to cost them a bunch and I imagine most students just throw it away (or hopefully recycle, I suppose). All that information is available on the Internet (and much more easily searched, too).</p>
