Is this normal for Princeton to do?

<p>So today I checked the mail and there was a packet from Princeton University. In it contained an app / financial aid info / viewbook. I didn't request the materials. Is this normal (well for a prestigious university as Princeton to do, I mean). I live in NJ if that has anything to do with it hah. I don't know, I'm just curious. Thanks for any feedback!</p>

<p>It's normal</p>

<p>Alright thanks, I've gotten plenty of mail from colleges. But only viewbooks and apps from colleges that I've actually requested stuff from, so I was just wondering. </p>

<p>PS- I love that show!</p>

<p>Yeah it's normal, Yale did that to some of my friends</p>

<p>yeah I got one too.... and i've spent the last 15 minutes racking my brain trying to remember if I requested the info or not. I went to the website to see if the request info looked familiar, but I don't remember filling anything out.... I don't live in NJ btw.</p>

<p>Oh haha okay. I just got one from Williams today too, without requesting anything. I never knew that the top tier schools sent out apps to people who didn't request them.</p>

<p>I also received those from Williams and Princeton, they excited my mom, but she's so ignorant.</p>

<p><em>rolls eyes</em></p>

<p>yeah, I've gotten those from Harvard, Caltech, MIT, Yale and a few others without request. I don't know how they determine who they want to send them too. I haven't received one from Princeton though, but there is a suspicion that Princeton doesn't like my high school.</p>

<p>Remember checking that box when you took the PSAT? Be prepared for an avalanche of paper, specifically requested or not.</p>
