<p>I heard that juniors definitely get recruitment letters and other things like that from colleges and institutions if they score well on the PSAT. Does this apply to sophomores as well?</p>
<p>I got stuff even when I was a freshman. So my guess would be yes, you would.</p>
<p>Thanks! When did you start receiving mail?</p>
<p>Yeah… I also got a few stuff from universities since freshmen year (nothing I’m really interested in though)</p>
<p>you bet they do!</p>
<p>oh yeah. i’ve been getting mail since february and its not going to stop anytime soon haha</p>
<p>Definitely. I think I got my first college mail january of sophomore year. I liked it at the time, now not so much.</p>
<p>Yea. If I could go back, I would have just done research and signed on to the mailing lists of 30 or so colleges I was really interested in rather than checking the “please spam me constantly, bi-directional universities from other states” box on the PSATs sophomore year.</p>
<p>Can’t complain too much, I never would have found out about Macalester were it not for their mailings and now I’m applying there.</p>
<p>lol I’ve learned that so many colleges exist.
I hate awkward phone calls and mass produced letters from alumni though.</p>
<p>I got stuff from the middle of my freshman year to the end of the summer after I graduated. I would say on average more than one piece of mail per day and about 5 emails per day.</p>
<p>One of the great things about college is the end of that harassment.</p>
<p>(also, if you put your regular email address on the PSAT I would suggest getting a new one)</p>
<p>
lol</p>
<p>Caller: Hi, I’m a student from Pace University.
Me: Hello
Caller: Have you ever heard of Pace University?
Me: Um, I think so
Caller: Do you currently have any interest in attending Pace University?
Me: No
Caller: Would you like to hear more about Pace University?
Me: Not really
Caller: Ok, thank you for your time</p>
<p>Yes. That was when I first started receiving shitloads of mail from the most obscure schools.</p>
<p>Don’t check that little box if you know what’s best for you</p>
<p>YES. And it all comes at once. I got 16 letters the first day.</p>
<p>Ya, checking that box was a mistake.</p>
<p>(also, if you put your regular email address on the PSAT I would suggest getting a new one) </p>
<p>Uh oh. And I get enough spam as it is! >:-(</p>

<p>Oh lol that’s funny. Now that I think about it, I put my home phone number down too. Yikes. And I thought the Student Search was a cool thing!</p>
<p>By the way, I’m having trouble quoting other people on CC. I click “reply” to their comment, and down in the Quick Reply box, check the “Quote message in reply” box, but none of them are being quoted. Any advice?</p>
