Come on…tell me this isn’t just the sweetest thing.

Recently, my son, Isaac, gets just about as much mail as the rest of the family combined. And they are all from admission departments of colleges and universities. He is a sophomore in High School. Yesterday he got four pieces of mail from Ball State, Xavier, Valparaiso, and Dominican Universities. Now…of course I know that Isaac is smart, good-looking, talented, and obviously a catch for any university that he might choose. But I’m a little suspicious.
This summer he went to a week long youth camp that had a few small college recruiters present. I think he gave them his contact information. And then I believe one of these small schools sold the contact information to other schools. Because, every single school that sends him a letter, spells his name wrong: Isaacs Barrington. Everyone of them.
Now I’m curious how much universities pay for databases with prospective students.
