<p>Ok, so when I took the PSAT, I put my email where it asked me to, and have been getting emails from colleges since then. But, today I had to change my email because I realized, after about a year, that it sounds plain goofy and switched it to something more professional sounding. My worry is that colleges/scholarships will no longer be able to contact me. What should I do? I went to my CollegeBoard account and updated my enough, but is that enough? Will colleges get the memo? Thanks in advance, and please please please please please help me out here.</p>
<p>The PSAT just generates a lot of unsolicited mail from colleges. If it’s interesting and you like to read it, fine. But any school or scholarship you are seriously interested in will have your new address when you sign up for information at college fairs, on their website, from applications, etc. Don’t worry at all.</p>
<p>You should be able to sync your two accounts so that emails going to your old one will be rerouted to your new one. Exactly how to do it depends on what service you are currently using.</p>
<p>(Correct me if I’m wrong on this. I’ve done it before, syncing from a Gmail to a Yahoo. Getting my college account’s Outlook emails to appear in my Gmail account, though, is a different story, though many people have told me that it works for them.)</p>
<p>Well, my new one is a Yahoo and my old one is an sbcglobal.net account. May you please help me out (with syncing them, I mean?) Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>As seatle<em>mom said, I don’t think any of the emails really matter! I scored… quite. low. on both the PSAT and PLAN and have gotten email and snail mail saying “you are a good math for us!” from Columbia and UPenn. Which I highly doubt I am. My personal opinion is that it’s mainly just a recruitment technique to increase the number of applicants, so they can boost their ratings.
If you’re _still</em> concerned and want it, then the easiest way is to simply go onto the links that the mail tells you, or click on the link on the email. Click “edit info” or something of the sort, and they’ll use your new email instead of the old one. When the time comes for them you to apply and they see your email, they’ll have the more professional one on record rather than the “goofy” one with emails that get rerouted to your new one.
Hope this helped!</p>
<p>Actually, rerouting email might be a good idea for new colleges interested in you!
I’d say do both for aforementioned reasons.</p>
<p>kitkatkitty2, it was a savvy move to get a more professional-sounding email address for your college applications!</p>
<p>No worries, you can actually change your email address so the mail gets rerouted to you. See [PSAT/NMSQT:</a> Student Search Service](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools)</p>
<p>It appears that search service is separate from your College Board account profile. Be sure you also login to your College Board account and change it there.</p>
<p>Ok, so I sent them (PSAT/NMSQT) an email notifying them of the change. Will that suffice?</p>
