DD20 had the opposite experience - she received almost NO mailings from colleges! Long story short - she didn’t even registertake a PSAT till her junior year. On the day of the test she was sick and never took the test. The counselor was required to turn her blank answer sheet in since she was a no show. We were surprised when we received a lengthy test analysis with her score of 320!
Apparently 320 is too low for even the most most marketing happy schools to waste a stamp on.
She did get deluged by one small non-competitive state school - the theme of their marketing was “you’re more than just a test score.”
At first she was highly offended - but it became the family joke. She has since received at least some marketing of the absurd out of reach schools. Once she actually took her SAT and had a reasonable score.
She understood the reason - but it still stung a little when all of her friends were “complaining” about all the mail and she wasn’t getting any.
