<p>I'm interested to see if anyone else has found some college spam that they thought was really cool...my favorite would have to be a brochure I got from Southwestern University in Texas.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>I got a calender from some liberal arts place up north, I actually used it and it had things like “official talk-like-a-pirate day” on it. That was pretty sweet though I never applied to the school.</p>
<p>And I don’t know what school this was but it was some small christian place that wished me blessings for christmas via e-mail, also suggesting I message back for more information on the place. I didn’t because I barely do much with my e-mails, just let them build up but weeks later I got this odd angry mail from them about me being rude for not messaging back and that the least I could do is message that I’m not interested. Then I got an apology e-mail after that. </p>
<p>Oh, and I got an application from Harvard which was like “***? really?” but I didn’t apply there either.</p>
<p>My favorite letter from a college was my “OFFICIAL BIG FAT LETTER” from CMU, seriously obese thing.</p>
<p>I kinda miss college letters now, the only thing I still get is stuff from NYU Poly (that I need to finish my application, that I’m accepted, financial aid awards, please finish financial aid forms, come to orientation, it’s all confusing and I told them I’m not going so I don’t know why they don’t stop) and Welleslwhateverwomanscollege.</p>
<p>Lololol @ angry emails from colleges xD</p>
<p>I love how CMU sends mail with tartar and kilts on it and…yeah :p</p>
<p>I got mail from a schools once (cant remember the name) which had a picture of the campus in the fall and there were leaves on the ground that spelled out my name, it was pretty legit, i wish id kept it</p>
<p>I had a dream a long time ago that inspired me to create a work of art where this girl was peeling an orange with the entire world inside that orange. I never did create that, but the first time I got spam mail from Macalester, they had a picture of the Earth wrapped in an orange peel on the envelope. My mind exploded. I’m not applying, though; they’re in Minnesota T_T;</p>
<p>Kenyon has this thing where their logo’s an owl, and they advertise delivering acceptance letters to students “by owl” like how Hogwarts does or something like that. I thought that was cool.</p>
<p>I got the Harvard app too, but it had the common app in it, which showed me the essay topics for this year (not that they’re any different from last year anyway) and certain questions I knew would take time to prepare (i.e. had to ask my parents, etc.) so I was grateful to Harvard for that, even though I know I’d never apply there.</p>
<p>Ball State University once sent me a letter with alum David Letterman on one of the pages. Under him, there was a big caption that said, “We’ve got balls!”</p>
<p>I remember William and Mary sent me an e-mail with their own rendition of Empire State of Mind, I found it both corny and cute.</p>
<p>collegemail: “Smart students go to Harvard or MIT, VERY smart students go to New Mexico Tech.”</p>
<p>I get so much college spam, and I merely look at the envelope before it goes to my wastebasket. I wish schools like Dominican University, Saint Mary’s, Concordia University of Chicago, and DePaul (not DePauw) would realize that no matter how many times they bombard my tiny mailbox with their invitations and letters, I wouldn’t dream of attending those schools. I’m more into schools like GWU, Northwestern, and Syracuse.</p>
<p>How long do you think I have to bear with college spam until it’s all done?</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon sent me a book that looked like a kilt. There was also a hanger with it.
The rest I could care less for, though MIT sent me a poster, Princeton sent me a info book, Columbia sent me stuff for Undergrad engineering.</p>
<p>^ the rest of that is really boring, only CMU suggestively says to look under the kilt, and you totally expect a butt there</p>
<p>
That kind of reminds me of the freaky Air France advertisement by the baggage claim at Dulles…</p>
<p>I like the letters I’ve gotten from U Kentucky, UT-Dallas, ASU, and a few others. Why? They offered me a lot of money.</p>
<p>The single nicest package was a simple little pamphlet from North Dakota State, of all places. It was very aesthetically pleasing in some odd way. Not very creative, but I dislike excessive artistic creativity.</p>
<p>I got one from West Texas A&M Universty (random i know) that showed a person carrying a big flag at a football game that had my name on it. Some of my friends got one as well. It was pretty cool.</p>
<p>E-mail from Syracuse - “Orange you interested?”</p>
<p>I chuckled.</p>
<p>Lol one of my friends on FB posted a wall picture of a college orientation handbook page about masturbation guidelines in the college. Apparently, the school paid thousands of dollars in damage related to ‘love stains’.</p>
<p>^ WHAT??? Oh, man, that’s rich.</p>
<p>I got the most ridiculous email from William & Mary</p>
<p>*If Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were to write a song about Williamsburg, it would go a little something like this:</p>
<pre><code>Get into the 'Burg!
You can go where your dreams can come true.
There’s nothing you can’t do.
When you’re in the 'Burg,
the brick streets will make you feel brand new;
illustrious alumni will inspire you,
in the 'Burg, the 'Burg, the 'Burg.
</code></pre>
<p>Let us help you get into the Williamsburg state of mind with a personal interview. Rising high school seniors can participate in a one-on-one, evaluative interview with a William & Mary senior.

<p>Blair, Casey, Jennifer, JB, Cassandra, Natty, Evette, Imad, Noelle, Nick, Adam - the 2010 Senior Interviewers</p>
<p>William & Mary is not just a school; it’s a state of mind. *</p>
<p>lol it’s so bad.</p>
<p>
I got one from some college whose name I can’t remember with a bunch of flasks holding different color liquid and then it had my name written in goo. (In the picture. The postcard wasn’t covered in goo.)</p>
<p>I got one from some school that I think was a nursing school (which is odd because I’ve never expressed any interest in anything medical-related). It was the world with clouds that spelled my name.</p>
<p>The funny part was the next week at school, a boy who has his locker near mine had the same one (with his name of course).</p>
<p>Isn’t great how colleges try to make us think that we’re unique? :)</p>
<p>I once got one with my name on it with dirt sprinkled from this lady’s hand…it was wicked cool. But I lost it.
Then, yeah, USF keeps harassing me about rejecting them. They want me to enter a raffle or something. USF was a double safety for me…so they’re just kinda bitter about it all. :rolleyes:</p>
