I have no idea about admissions, but this is insane to me. Do people who have been out of school for long enough to have high school aged children really still use their college alumni addresses? [/quote]

One angle to consider - Using an alumni alias email isn't so strange if it was the first email you had and then continued to use it ever since.  It takes a lot of work to disentangle all the places you've used it as a login id etc. Of course, not everyone fits into that category but many people I know from school (where this WAS the case - and is not an IVY) still use that alias. It has nothing to do with status - it's a consistent email address - just like keeping the same cell number that has a non-DMV area code because that's where you had your first cell phone.

Yeah, no.  It’s actually totally strange, douchey, and a not-so-subtle flex. [/quote]

+1. Grow up. It’s time for an adult email address [/quote]
