@hotdogsladies My kid decided that any school that sent her mail was immediately removed from consideration.

Hey, I never said it. But yeah.

It’s the old Groucho Marx quote—only I’d never want to be a member of a club that needed a budget to recruit me as a member.

@hotdogsladies They have to figure out how to pay for things during the 2 months a year they’re not shipping election mailers.

@hotdogsladies My sophomore is getting them, too, but his friend isn’t. I think it might have been a checkbox on the PSAT.

I’m looking at it a useful barometer for change over time.

Not so much of my kid's prospects.

More of just casually keeping tabs on the deteriorating state of weird private colleges.

@hotdogsladies @danielpunkass I’m not sure you’re allowed to graduate unless you’ve received your invitation from Who’s Who Among America’s High School Students.

@hotdogsladies @danielpunkass They apparently started publishing it in 1971 and ceased in 2007. 36 Years! Though it seems unlikely, someone could have spent their entire career working there. 😳

They're famously very rigid.

@hotdogsladies Don’t forget about putting supermarket circulars in every mailbox. Oh, and giving apartment dwellers ads for septic companies and window replacement.

@colin I won’t.
