I'm astonished by how professionally produced some schools' materials are. Some could have useful information, and a school that does a lot in a field like that should have some way to communicate it. But I'm afraid that, without a standardized format to compare the schools on, there's not much chance a good mailer would (or should) displace existing perceptions of quality.
