And I will say for the umpteenth time. Some of our orgs have strict rules about what we can and cannot say to a prospect about intake, and when and where we can say it. The internet is strictly forbidden. And even in-person is forbidden in some orgs. And there are valid reasons for this.

One example is a few years ago a prospect was turned down by her org of choice. She filed a lawsuit. Her case? That a member of the org had given her info and encouragement on a message board that implied she should have no problem being accepted since she had the GPA, service, etc.--the member was just trying to be nice, because she herself was a neo. The prospect had printed out the MB conversation to prove her point. Luckily the org had a better attorney and the case did not go to court. But rules were put in place to prevent it from happening again.

None of us want to risk losing our pins behind a propect's curiousity when there are so many other places to do research beginning with out national websites and authorized history books.

So for many of us, it is not a matter of being mean, it is a matter of following our own protocol.
