[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they should stop spending so much money marketing to literally every HS senior just to increase their rejection rate and appear more selective. [/quote]

T[b]otally agree. It's insane.[/quote][/b]

My kids were inundated with UChicago promotions.  It never stopped (and they never applied - they went instate VA - we could not have afforded U Chicago even with significant legacy connections).

Years after one had graduated from her instate Virginia college and while another DC was in their senior year at UVA, Chicago wasted yet more money on them sending them a "please submit your application"  We laughed.  Obviously, someone hit the wrong button but it does go to Chicago's push to market itself to rise on the rankings ("get as many applications as you can to reject as many as you can").  And yes both had received many emails to submit back when they were high school students.  MANY. Including the US postal mailings of a cute kitten to "remind them" to submit.  Sorry, I have two immediate relatives who went there and would not be pleased with the kitten.

This is what happens when you bring in "specialists" and "consultants" to help you run up the USNWR rankings.[/quote]
