My baby sister is in the middle of her senior year of high school and is currently trying to figure out where she wants to attend college. She has been presented with many letters of acceptance from both secular and Christian schools; yes Grove City is one of them. She is stuck between schools as is in the middle of this process. Now naturally, I attempt to be a good older brother and try to “sway her decision” into accepting Grove City’s offer, but this got me thinking about the ways schools often sell to students in the application and acceptance process.<\/p>\n
Schools are constantly advertising to high school students with a variety of letters, pens, and other small things like stickers and cheap sunglasses in order to help influence these individuals to apply to their school. Often times these come with information with the prospect’s name on them and some major information that the prospect has mentioned before– whether that be on a form or in an interview. As deadlines grow closer for applications, schools will tend to send more stuff to us in the mail. I am almost positive we can all remember receiving these things.<\/p>\n
Schools will also send information about the cost of their programs, campus life, and some of their athletic and art programs. The amplification of a schools culture is important for a potential student to know about as well as the parents of that prospect as they often have a very large impact on the prospect’s choice.<\/p>\n
Even after a prospect has accepted the offer of a school, the school can sometimes send shirts or other small gifts to the student for saying thank you for accepting their offer: a gift show appreciation for the closing of the sale. Colleges are very smart about getting people to attend their academic establishments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
