[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]gamesmanship[/quote] What's deceptive or illegal about what they do?[/quote] Gamesmanship doesn’t mean illegal, for one thing. It means they are using the system to manipulate the results. For instance for awhile they were boasting about their selectivity number. But they got that selectivity by blanketing kids who would never have an actual chance of admission with weekly flyers, an easy application, and waived application fees. They essentially drove up the number of applicants who never had a chance to increase their selectivity number. I wonder if they realize just how terrible those weekly mailings make them look. I know a kid who would have been a serious contender for the school (now at Berkeley in CS) who refused to apply because he was so put off by the weekly begging letter. He called them the University of Phoenix Chicago. [/quote]
