<p>I know many colleges send out generic letters after receiving tests scores often inviting you to join their website or get a special book from them. My question is, how important is it to actually reply or log on to their websites after receiving the letters? This past year I was a sophomore so I started receiving some mail after the ACT Plan but I honestly just read it & then tossed it in a corner. I know these letters really aren't that special but does it give you "bonus points" or something if you actually respond to the colleges? Sorry this is all over the place but I didn't really know how to word it.</p>
