<p>when selecting colleges on common app it says</p>
<p>Note: Some colleges may choose to correspond with students who have begun, but not submitted, their applications. If you DO NOT want to be contacted by your prospective colleges do not select at this time; wait until you are ready to submit your Common App. Please rest assured that only those colleges to which you have indicated you plan to apply will have access to data entered in your application. The Common Application does not sell or provide any student information to anyone else! </p>
