<p>Question: I would like to receive mail to my home from colleges. I need to expand my knowledge of college information now that I am in the 10th grade & I would like to know if this can be done. This may be one of those Be careful what you wish for situations. Once you [...]</p>
<p>My first thought upon reading this question was “Oh my god, why would you want to do that?!?” If you put your email on your SAT, you’ll get more than you could ever imagine. So, for when you’re a senior and are rethinking this, here’s the next step: at the bottom of the email should be an “unsubscribe” link. Click it.</p>
<p>Also, the emails colleges send out generally are not very helpful. They all look pretty much the same and tend to blend together. You may find it more helpful to talk to your counselor about what schools are a good match for you, and then investigate them more specifically. THEN, if you’re interested, get on their mailing list.</p>
<p>Good luck in your applications! :)</p>
<p>Fully agreed with Emily.If you listed in many collage mailing list then your mail box will become a junk box. So first investigate the collage which is real one and you can get whole information from news section also, you even don’t need to register in mailing list.</p>
<p>Yes. It gets so annoying. You should see how big the stack of college mail I have gotten in the past month is. It seems like I get anywhere from one to ten letters a day, a lot of them repeats.</p>
<p>If there are schools you are interested in, you can register on their website for info (with email and/or snail mail address) and you’ll get plenty of emails and/or envelopes and post cards.</p>
<p>My daughter started receiving tons of mail when she was registered for her first AP exams sophomore year.</p>
<p>I started receiving college mail after a lot of my classmates, for some reason, even though I took the same tests as all of them and scored really well. But once the mail did start coming, it didn’t stop. Out of curiosity, I kept all of it and stacked it in a corner of my room. It was literally as tall as me before it just tipped over. It definitely does make you feel special, though, to get all kinds of glossy brochures in the mail. At some point our mail man started asking if I had decided on a college yet!</p>
<p>To point out that all the automatic college mail isn’t necessarily useful, though: the college I ended up at didn’t send me mail because of these lists. I did my research online and specifically requested information from them.</p>
