[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kid got a very personal and encouraging response from an admissions officer yesterday after sending in an email update to a college.

should DC respond? worried about filling the AO's email inbox with unnecessary chatter.
the school does track demonstrated interest.[/quote]

odd. a state school?[/quote]

no, a T10 SLAC. 
RD applicant. 
Met the AO in the fall at high school.[/quote]

Personal communication with applicants is standard for top LAC AOs, maybe even lower ones, as well as some T15 universities. The answer on whether to respond is It Depends: what was the wording of the email, was there already an ongoing conversation, etc. Both of my kids  responded to many AO emails, and initiated communication with others,  but they did not respond to the ones that were just brief thank-you-for-sending-us-update types.

OP.  thank you for this.
I think my daughter has an email from another SLAC from last month - generic at the beginning but personalized at the end asking to stay in touch. I just texted DD and told her to respond to that AO with a question that's not easy to find an answer to. That SLAC's app was due earlier this month....also a RD.

Thanks for this very helpful advice for SLACs!! Hope it helps others![/quote]
