BabyGirl 1StrongBlackMan ...

got a hand-written "invitation" to apply for admission from someone from Columbia University. She's been getting all kinds of promotional materials from colleges all over the country (even Liberty University ... Yeah, as if ...); but all of these have been the slick materials, printed up and mailed out by the crateful ... This one was hand-written and sign by someone (I didn't have time to actually read the letter; but I felt the indentations ... it was mass-produced).

What does that mean? Should 1StrongBlackMan lace up his boots in preparation for the cost of an Ivory League education?
