<p>Okay, so I'm no sucker, I know it doesn't mean anything, but did anybody else get really excited when they got an "apply here" letter from their dream school? Yale sent me a nice little letter (which I know went to 1,000 other kids) but I still saved it in my desk drawer just 'cuz. :D</p>
<p>i love the view books and posters that my dream schools send me!! (MIT, Caltech)
Caltech even sends 3d glasses for their postcard</p>
<p>however, any letter from Harvard is appreciated but don't weight as much to me.</p>
<p>I got one from Harvard. It felt good. :)</p>
<p>Everytime I get one of those in the mail, my mind dreams a little more.</p>
<p>Maybe it's possible!</p>
<p>Though I tore open my Yale envelope a bit badly... sniff. This is what happened:</p>
<p>My Dad: Look, a letter from Yale!!
Me: REALLY?!!! <em>grabs and tears open</em>
My Dad: O_o AHHH!!! You tore the envelope from YALE?!! NOOOOOOOO!!</p>
<p>I should have used a letter opener...</p>
<p>Stanford sent me some mail once. I felt super-special. :)</p>
<p>Does anybody know how people get a letter from these schools? </p>
<p>For example, how does Harvard determine to who gets thier letter?</p>
<p>I think its from the Student Search Service from the PSAT.</p>
<p>lol I never got any of those letters. :D</p>
<p>I feel left out.</p>
<p>I think you have to check the "I want to recieve information from colleges" box on your PSAT</p>
<p>I always wondered how they knew I even existed.</p>
<p>I got a brochure from Dartmouth :>)</p>
<p>don't you love when the school you've never heard of sends you a 2 pound magazine/postcard combo?</p>
<p>yeah the Yale one rocked
but even my PSAT scores don't project an Ivy-caliber SAT score</p>
<p>I feel warm and fuzzy and kindof gypped at the same time :C</p>
<p>PSAT and sometimes AMC ( i get a bunch of random math junk mails too)</p>
<p>It's kind of funny, because sometimes I get stuff for doing AMC and stuff doing USAMTS, and sometimes, I get the exact same stuff twice because of that.</p>
<p>"I think you have to check the "I want to recieve information from colleges" box on your PSAT"</p>
<p>Oh. I didn't take any PSAT's. That must be why I didn't get any.</p>
<p>I got two letters from Yale! In one my name was capitaliezed: Dear Ms. MY NAME. (This was the PLAN one.) And the other was Dear Ms. My Name....</p>
<p>Yale double wants mee. Ooh.</p>
<p>I got one from Harvard telling me I wouldn't have to pay for college there, lol</p>
<p>Eloquence, can I be you?
LOL jk... nah I'd never go to Boston... too cold....</p>
<p>Yeah, I got one from Harvard, Yale, Stanford and TONS from MIT lol. But I know lots of people get these too...</p>
