<p>Have all you juniors been getting mail from colleges? I've taken the PSAT and I checked the box for the student search thing. Granted my score didn't end up being very good, I haven't gotten any brochures or anything. I know people say mail gets annoying, but one of my friends said some place mailed her a DVD about the place!</p>
<p>Is this the time that most places mail stuff to juniors?</p>
<p>wait till spring. then you will get TONS of mail. mail from colleges you didnt even know existed. my psat was pretty mediocre but i still got enough college mail to fill a few bins. </p>
<p>A word of advice: dont automatically throw away mail from colleges (and scholarship organizations) that you have never previously heard of. I lucked out and got a free ride to college through this scholarship organization i had never previoulsy heard of (QuestBridge) to a school i am in love with, but had never heard of until they sent me their prospectus in the mail.</p>
<p>Most of the stuff starts coming in around Spring, I have trashbags full of stuff from spring of my sophomore year and will probably get even more this spring.</p>
<p>after ninth grade psat, I’ve been getting mails and emails from colleges. although annoying, i was lucky to receive mails from cornell and brown.</p>
<p>Ditto for not throwing out mail to colleges you’ve never heard of. I got all expenses paid trips to California, St. Louis, Pittsburgh (x2), and Washington, D.C. I also got a full ride to a school through a program I never knew existed (yay QuestBridge!) thought that wasn’t through the mail. I’ve also gotten a lot of free applications and scholarship offers because I filled out a ton of surveys and such. It’s worth it, especially if you’re unsure of where you think you want to go or what level student you are (I, for example, had no idea I was an Ivy-caliber student).</p>
<p>haha I always save the mail from colleges I like. I felt honored when I got the letters from brown, upenn and caltech. I know they don’t mean much, but I like looking at them lol. I haven’t gotten much this year though, most of it was after my psat last year.
I haven’t gotten any scholarship info tho…hmmm that would actually be helpful.</p>
