dirty ethel rackham Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Ds18 just received a big packet in the mail. I am thinking "Oh, Goodie ... his first acceptance." However it is from Northwestern University thanking him for his interest in their tuba and euphonium program. Ds didn't apply to NU and he doesn't play the tuba.:lol: I wonder if my nephew, a doctoral candidate in math at NU, is behind this. He can be a prankster.

Halftime Hope Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Eons ago someone did that to me--told a college that I was interested in that I was interested in their flight program, of all things! Um, no. I survived! : ) ....and I haven't thought of that in 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I don't think my son got any that were wrong for him but my daughter sure did. She got mailings for special events for AA students and my dd is definitely not AA nor did she ever claim to be. She did not put down race or ethnicity on anything. She also received a specialized application package I think from Vanderbilt about engineering. The only thing we could think of is somehow they got info about her much younger sister (3.3 years but 4 years apart in school) who is into engineering but who hadn't filled out any forms in any college fair. I don't think she even filled out the interest form for the ACT which she took in 7th grade for a talent search but even if she had, her grade for 7th grade was great but it wasn't a good test score for a 12th grader.

MicheleinMN Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 We got a small package this year from Willamette University, one of the colleges which had accepted dd last fall, so we thought it was for her. We checked the address label, and it was for my son, Jacob - age 15, guess they thought they would get a jump on things?! :lol::lol::tongue_smilie: And let me tell you, these two children are as different as night and day!

asta Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Switzerland commented the other day that Loyola's letters to him were starting to sound more and more cultish -- and that frankly, it creeped him out. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
