[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College advisor told us some colleges track whether you open their emails and if you click the links too.That said, we saved most college visits for after acceptances.  Cheaper to apply then travel a distance to ones that don't offer a spot in the end.[/quote]

How do they track whether you open an email? Short of asking you to send a "read receipt", they can't know whether you open email, can they?[/quote]

They can track everything. I work in marketing and can tell who opens, when, and what they click on. That’s basic technology these days. I can do a lot more than that too.[/quote]

[b]Uh oh, I’ve told my kids to never click on links in an email for security sake.[/b][/quote]

The Ivies and SLACs don't care. They are inundated with applications and don't fret about sign in sheets or clicks.  Not a single Ivy showed any interest in even having a sign-in sheet.  Those days are long gone.  When they have 30,000+ applications the fact that you took a tour means nothing.  OP, you should start reading college confidential.[/quote]
