I’m sure many of you have received the flood of college spam emails. Many of them are so similar to one another that I have to believe they were outsourced to some ad firm. They were also just terrible–I think a middle schooler could have run a more impressive advertising campaign. Not sure I’d want to attend any college that would have to outsource something like that. If their admissions officers can’t easily sit down and put together a great one page ad for the school, there’s probably not much great about the school.
