Arcadia Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 DS12 had a mailer today from U of Notre Dame and we were all nosy while he ripped open the envelope. The RSVP postcard has NUMATS listed. So I guess that was where the college got DS12's mailing address. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 DD is on mailing lists for quite a few schools because of herp conferences-usually grad programs. She got a real kick out of it-especially at age 9. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got a real kick out of it-especially at age 9. :) When she turns 18 she can write an application letter to them: "Now that you've wooed me for half my life, I finally can't resist the temptation anymore and have elected to attend your university - I hope you found me worth the wait." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Hmm... we got a one from Notre Dame this week, too, from ND's office of admissions, but it was for a 7th-9th grade precollege program. I know it came via NUMATS because we barely do any testing and don't have access to anything else right now. Maybe they sent the wrong mailer, lol. Some poor undergrad stuffing envelopes for $6 an hour. Edited April 24, 2017 by elladarcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some poor undergrad stuffing envelopes for $6 an hour. It should be the same one :) It says for current 6th and 7th graders and has NUMATS printed on the reply postcard. My city's minimum wage is $11 per hour but I would be bored stuffing envelopes an entire hour. ETA: I was calling it college spam because it is advertising the college as a choice. Their admission profile is better than our nearby state university. Edited April 24, 2017 by Arcadia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriM Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 When she turns 18 she can write an application letter to them: "Now that you've wooed me for half my life, I finally can't resist the temptation anymore and have elected to attend your university - I hope you found me worth the wait." :) I needed a good laugh.

The funny thing is that the one that has been most consistent is probably a really good school for her to check out :). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleowl Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I started getting mail telling me how great one particular college would be for my child...when she was two. She's always been advanced, but not THAT advanced. :lol: I finally called them up and told them they were wasting postage, and they thanked me and stopped sending me stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
