How common is it to receive letter from admissions asking you to apply, out of the blue?

I would never tell my kid to not check that box. I’m pretty sure I told her to be sure to check it. We looked at everything that arrived and may in fact have been alerted to a suitable college via a mailing or email. Even if a school was not suitable, sometimes their literature bought up something we had not considered before, to look for at other schools.

So you’re the one. I had heard that you existed, but I thought it was a Great Urban Myth put forward by the marketing lobby
