<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I am a junior, and just received my PSAT scores earlier this week.</p>
<p>Considering all the threads I see about receiving tons of college-related mail, I'm a little surprised that I have not received anything yet.</p>
<p>Any possible explanations as to why?</p>
<p>Trust me, you will. I was the same way, and during the end of jr. year and beginning of senior year they all just piled in. I can't wait till the end of the year, the seniors are getting together for a bon-fire and we're building the fire with all our college crap, haha. Don't worry, they didn't leave you out...</p>
<p>It'll start slowly, with one or two letters.</p>
<p>Then you'll be overwhelmed. Don't worry about it; it'll happen.</p>
<p>Ahhh... you'll regret this wish later. :p The deluge will come all too soon, I'm sure.</p>
<p>I've only gotten 2 (Chicago, I think, and UOP (which I requested for))...Last year I got a crapload during March-June</p>
<p>maybe you forgot to check the "I want more info" part on your answer sheet.</p>
<p>I havent gotten any yet...and frankly i dont want any.</p>
<p>Wait til your senior year. Then the word of the day will be --- 'RUUUUUUN!'</p>
<p>I got a crap load of useless info. from all these colleges that I would not go to. It started at the end of my junior yr, increased during the summer, peaked at the beginning of my senior yr (aug/sept/early oct), and now I'm glad I'm not really receiving any more stuff.</p>
<p>Yeah, I have gotten copious amounts of mail from colleges that have names that I wouldn't have thought existed. After that, I started checking, do not give out my information to universities, etc...</p>
<p>Good Luck,</p>

<p>Yes, I filled in the bubble on the PSAT answer sheet that I did not want information from colleges, and the mail hasn't been <em>too</em> bad. I think that the mail I do get is because the SAT II answer key does not ask if you are okay with releasing information - and I took the SAT IIs in June and October.</p>
<p>@lavenderdream: I filled in that bubble on every test that had it. I received only two or three pieces of mail from colleges I hadn't contacted myself. Some agricultural school and the US Marines are some examples. I'm certain I wasn't targeted ;)</p>
<p>On the PSAT I took my sophomore year, I bubbled "yes" for that answer and recieved tons of useless college information (groucher college??). This year, I wisened up and said no, and I haven't recieved any college information. Frankly, I wanna keep it that way.</p>
