[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious if all those being inundated with material live in affluent zip codes. We do not, and none of our kids — who all scored reasonably well — have ever been mailed anything from a school unless they specifically requested it. Emails? Yes. Tons and tons of emails. But nothing that would actually cost money to send. Wondering if the goal isn’t merely to drive up applications but specifically to boost applications from wealthy communities. Just curious. [/quote] We live in Takoma Park and my son (a junior) receives lots of mail in addition to emails. It started after 10th grade PSAT. Last week he received what I will describe as a large poster from Duke. His friend who lives in Silver Spring and attends Einstein also receives lots of glossy materials weekly. Not sure what the institutional priorities are as a lot of the colleges overlap, especially Chicago. My son is biracial, and his friend is white. They both did well on the PSAT.[/quote]
