First they send ME this letter which d"escribed in general the criteria and the process that will be used in evaluating [the applicants’] applications."
Then they send my PARENTS this letter (summary) a couple days later:
-some applicants are offered February admission. this is why. i raise this issue here to alert you in a timely way to that possibility.
-it’s better to visit before you get admitted
-there are many qualified students who can’t be admitted
IMO much nicer than some other schools who have essentially no communication from after the deadline until doomsday
