<p>anyone else get an email from princeton with an "invitation" (+viewbook)letter? How does princeton decide who to send one to?</p>
<p>"invitation"???</p>
<p>as in, inviting you to come visit campus or something?</p>
<p>idealist, could you elaborate on the email?</p>
<p>it'd actually be better if you could post it up :)</p>
<p>agree with pk:)</p>
<p>i got the same thing. its basically just college spam (they get your email from the psat).</p>
<p>oh, that kind of stuff. yeah and when you register for sats, if you choose to participate in "student search" (something like this, can't remember though), the college board will provide certain colleges with your info. thus students get those "ads".</p>
<p>i don't think it was psat.... i only got 198 .... do they request a certain range of sat scores from the student search thing?
An extract from the email :
Today, the Dean of Admission mailed you a letter inviting you to consider applying to Princeton University and offering you a Princeton viewbook. </p>
<p>You should receive her letter in about a week. If you would like to reply now and request your copy of the Princeton viewbook, please click here. </p>
<p>We look forward to hearing from you and we hope your fall semester is going well.</p>
<p>idealist......are u applying ED or RD?</p>
<p>It's probably based on SATs, more in the league of college spam than much else. I got the same thing after my Oct SAT IIs, and I know a few of my classmates did as well.</p>
<p>ya lol. ppl with lower SATs like some of my friends dont get mail from good colleges. its sooOOo discriminatory. i mean, some ppl have awesome ECs but slightly lower numbers. i guess it shows how important academic excellence really is.</p>
<p>maddy- i'm applying RD</p>
<p>maddy- i'm applying RD</p>
<p>maddy- i'm applying RD</p>
<p>LOL ok idealist.....(3 times*)</p>
<p>Wow! so are my scores THAT low.. :(</p>
<p>oops! that was by mistake
what were your sat and satII scores? Mine weren't too great...2090 sat ...so I think it was only bc of my sat IIC math score which was 790 (not too great either)</p>
<p>my SAT 2 scores havnt come out yet.....(nov testdate) and my octobers ones are not yet out online....apparently i'm part of that "small percentage". But it seems like some schools have gotten my scores.....(a school sent a mail saying they have received them)</p>
<p>lol 790 on math 2c allows you to get like 4-7 wrong, right?</p>
<p>becuz i know that ppl can still get 800 with 4-5 wrong.</p>
<p>You can miss 6 and get 800 IIRC. </p>
<p>And please learn to type, most of you. Caltech/MIT kids would be horrified at stuff like "ppl" and "becuz". Acronyms are acceptable, however.</p>
<p>right.
meaning a 790 is only 85th percentile or something, and not impressing at all</p>
<p>Whoamg, this is an online forum! "ppl" and "becuz" are totally acceptable...chill out; perfect grammar is not necessary online.</p>
