<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>a few days ago, I got a mail from Princeton University- </p>

<p>Dear XXXXXXX,</p>

<p>The Dean of Admission and I are interested in providing you more information about the opportunities available at Princeton University.</p>

<p>If you would like to reply now, please click here.</p>

<p>We look forward to hearing from you.</p>

<p>Logan Powell
Director of Admission

Princeton, NJ 08542-0430</p>

<p>I received your e-mail address from the Student Search Service of the College Board. If you do not want to receive e-mail from Princeton University, please let me know.</p>

<p>I clicked there and got subscribed to the mailing list- does this mean I have a better chance of getting in? I've only received a reply thanking me for subscribing to their list, but no further information. </p>

<p>Could anyone bring some light on this issue?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>I got the same mail. Means nothing. They’re probably sending similar mails to everybody with college board profiles.</p>

<p>Is this your first unsolicited contact from a college? If so, get used to it – and it means exactly nothing in terms of your chances for admission. Tell your mailman to wear a back brace for the next year though.</p>

<p>Mass mailing. It gets sent to everyone.</p>

<p>Yep. It’s called college spam and nearly everyone gets it. Prepare to be flooded with a mass of emails and letters that rave about how amazing you are</p>
