<p>Are these for real? I have been getting them from colleges like UVM and Drexel and the admission fee is waived. Is there a catch? or are they really just good? Beneficial?</p>

I wonder if there is a private company that does these mailings for the colleges because they are all very similar. Either that or the private colleges are noticing a drop in early applications (poor economy) and are getting worried.</p>
