[quote=Anonymous]I have the best U of C story.  We didn't know that students could simply say "no" to this bombardment of stuff when they went thru the PSAT process.  So the stuff from U of C starts with both kids, one was three years ahead.. The first child was nowhere near a U of C applicant (stats and GPA) but I knew at least the game they were playing (increase the number of applications no matter what to appear more selective) so I told both kids to ignore.  Second child could have been a player (and a legacy) but had no interest because he wanted aerospace engineering,  So no one from our family applied.  Last year (ten years after DS enrolled at GMU) and seven years after DD enrolled at UVA, BOTH get an onslaught of email stuff and stuff in the mail from U of Chicago.  DS is working at Microsoft, DD is doing grad work at Oxford.  WTF?  Someone must have hit the wrong button at U of C.  And, yes, I remember the cute red kitten on the U of C's mailings reminding my kids to send in their applications.[/quote]
