DO NOT bubble in Student Search Service on the PSAT

College Confidential Community

<p>my inbox has been receiving 5+ emails an hour from various, completely random colleges (look, i'm sure colorado college is a great LAC, but...)</p>

<p>please, for the sake of god and yourself, DO NOT elect to join in the student search service</p>

2

<p>Word.</p>

<p>Biggest regret of my life.</p>

<p>(ok not really... but still!)</p>

3

<p>if you do, get another email address</p>

4

<p>the regrets</p>

<p>oh the regrets</p>

<p>that being said, why are colleges already sending stuff if it's apparently too soon for us to know test scores?</p>

5

<p>I accidentally misspelled my email address on that so I only got the physical mail, which I thought was great (email would have been ANNOYING)</p>

6

<p>Getting several pieces of male EVERY SINGLE DAY does make one feel loved, though.</p>

<p>LOL. if you see a school you know you will not go to / never heard before, just mark it as spam... that's what i do.:) </p>

<p>i enjoyed getting mail from colleges. especially when they sent out interesting brochures and stuff. (:</p>

<p>and its only annoying for me if some random school you never heard of before constantly sends like the same thing over and over hahaha but i dont think many do that...</p>

8

<p>several pieces of male every single day... </p>

<p>hahaha.</p>

9

<p>but it kind of boosts your ego when you get mail from, say, yale or caltech</p>

10

<p>I don't really care too much because I like to look through the colleges/unis.</p>

lol</p>

<p>I agree. And I now have a 15" stack of unopened letters to burn.</p>

12

<p>it weighed at least 100 lbs...(all the mail I was sent)</p>

<p>and lol @ male :D</p>

13

<p>how embarrassing</p>

14

<p>Make a separate email for college correspondence that you can drop like a hot potato when you pick your school. I still get stuff at my college app email address.</p>

<p>Still get junk in the mail though...</p>

<p>My stack of college mail since junior year was several feet tall. Recycled it all.</p>

15

<p>My inbox has been raped.</p>

16

<p>just curious...who has actually subscribed to the stuff that all those colleges are offering? (i.e. magazines, mailing lists, quizzes, surveys etc...)</p>

<p>i find the names of the magazines hilarious, esp. Drexel's "Who are you...really?"</p>

<p>I agree with the piles and piles of totally unheard-of colleges are annoying. I also agree that to a certain extent, they do make you feel a little loved. </p>

<p>The randomest one I've gotten was from The University of New Mexico. Hey, I am sure it's a great school but... XD</p>
