D received this email today:
You previously expressed interest in William & Mary as a possible college option, and we certainly hope that you maintain this interest. At this point, however, it appears that you have not yet submitted your application to us.
There is still time to complete your application and be considered for admission to one of the nation’s most recognized and respected universities. Given your previous interest in William & Mary, we are still willing to give your application full consideration if it is submitted by January 10, and if your supplemental materials (such as test scores, transcripts and recommendations) arrive by February 1.
We know that it’s all too easy to run out of time while juggling the holidays, multiple applications and early January deadlines. However, given that you’ve already taken the first steps in exploring William & Mary, we don’t want you to miss out on having a chance to apply. We hope that you’ll finish taking this final step and give us a chance to read your application.

I'm pretty surprised to see this sort of thing from a college like W&M. Is this common? I understand that some colleges have extended deadlines because of weather-related issues around the country, but this seems more like a way to just gather more applications.
(BTW, D has never visited W&M so really hadn't expressed much interest....)
Thoughts?
