<p>All of my friends have been getting mail from colleges but I haven't! I'm a junior in highschool, what do I do??</p>
<p>Did they check the box when taking the PSAT (maybe a previous year) saying they want to hear from colleges? Don’t remember the exact wording, but that is one way to get a lot of mail (more than you want!). You can go out to the website of any college and sign up to get mailings, emails, etc. It is a good idea anyway to show interest, which some schools care about.</p>
<p>Don’t think for a minute that the colleges sending mail to your friends somehow are more likely to accept them. They are just marketing materials, it isn’t personal. 
So don’t worry about it. Sign up on the admissions websites for the colleges you are interested in, and be glad you don’t have boxes and boxes of mailings you don’t even want arriving at your house.</p>
