Post PSAT college emails...

<p>I totally have the same thing TONS of e-mails and a bunch of letters- NYU, Brown, U of Delaware and Miami. And the Junior Statesmen school. Then again I took the SATS cold, hence the lack of any really good one besides Brown- my score was good but FAR from perfect. Anyway, point being e-mails = annoying.</p>

<p>i also got a ton from schools. top schools:nyu, duke, mit, brown, swarthmore, notre dame, etc. i have like 10 pages of just colleges. i can barely find other important info</p>

<p>Columbia
Brown
Tulane
Duke
Tufts
Wesleyan
Vassar
Dartmouth
NYU
GWU</p>

<p>Basically the only good one's I got. Doesn't mean **** though.</p>

<p>Some of the emails and letters I get say stuff like "We've contacted you because your PSAT score was good". So I guess I was wondering the same thing: do they actually see the score? Maybe there's a percentile or range or something</p>

<p>Yeah my mail said they noticed i had outstanding psat scores, and theyd look really dumb if i actually did really bad..so they must see some score..right?</p>

<p>LOL XD
for me, lets see:
Caltech (one of the best)
Columbia University(one of the best)
university of washington in st. louis(one of the best)
rochester university
University of Washington (my favorite school)
....... blah blah blah</p>

<p>Just ignore these mails. They have no significance.</p>

<p>I didn't do too well and I've been getting stuff from Brown and Chicago U and other great places, I doubt they see my score range.</p>

<p>I got 9 mailers in my mailbox on Friday. Crazy.</p>

<p>I'm just waiting for my mailman to come complain at me.</p>

Does the score you receive on the PSAT have any correlation to the types of colleges you receive mailings from. (Such as if you received a higher score you are contacted by more prestigious schools?)

<p>Some correlation. Some schools probably send mail/email to just about everyone (or everyone I know), but others only send it to those who get above certain scores, etc.</p>

<p>My parents (who sort the mail) throw out most of the college stuff before I read it, so all I know is I got email from Caltech and Brown, and my friend didn't. :)</p>

<p>But of course these schools just send you letters so you apply => they can reject you => improve their yield.</p>
