<p>My S, a junior, is getting deluged with letters congratulating him on his great test scores (I assume his PSAT). Letters from Columbia, UCLA, Rice, Texas A&M Honors program, to schools I have never heard of. I assume they received this info from College Board. Does College Board automatically send everyone's test scores to schools?</p>
<p>No, schools purchase lists of names with certain criteria from the college board, i.e. high scores, interested in certain programs etc. These letters can provide usefull information, but they are essentially meaningless. Read them, but don't hesitate to trash-can them either.</p>
<p>the rule of thumb? NEVER GIVE COLLEGE BOARD PERSMISSION TO SEND YOUR INFO!</p>
<p>lol... i can't tell you how annoying it's become. As a second semester HS senior..i still get 2 or more emails a day about applying somewhere.</p>
<p>at the height of my junior year they were spamming me 10 or more emails/letters a day.</p>
