So I received my application email from NYU with my Albert login info a few weeks ago, but the email went to my person email address and not the one I provided on the common app. All my other colleges sent emails to the address I provided on the common app and I didn’t provide my personal address anywhere so I’m just curious as to how they even got that email address. If anyone has had a similar experience or has any guesses as to how they got that address the input would be much appreciated. I suppose it doesn’t particularly matter, I’m just curious and also want to make sure I don’t miss any future emails.
Hey, the same thing happened to me with several colleges, but not with NYU. I think in my case, my counsellor provided the colleges with my school email address, even though I applied using my personal account.
I think for most people, it may be because you signed up for mailing lists or indicated an interest in the college using your personal email.
