<p>im a hs sophomore and i just started getting email from colleges after psats. i got a 215 total. not much to brag about :/ but its pretty good here in NC where its not so competitive. ive been getting messages from colleges. thus far the best ones ive gotten are duke and columbia. i know they definitely dont guarantee anything b/c sophomore psats arent worth anything, but...are they a good sign? colleges wouldnt send messages to ppl they wont consider right? i need an ego boost!!!</p>
<p>a lot of the colleges writing you have your psat scores, and ONLY your psat scores.
it is, of course, a good sign that they are writing you, but no--it doesnt mean much of anything, its just a marketing campaign
but if it makes you feel better, i got a 215 too and i have only received one notable letter (harvard,) so youve got me beat</p>
