PSAT clue?

<p>I received a letter in today's mail from "Presidential Classroom" congratulating me on becoming a "High Achiever" in the College Board Student Search Service.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what, if anything that means? I called up Presidential Classroom and they said it was based on my GPA and my scores on College Board tests.Could this mean I scored in the 95+ percentile?</p>

<p>Has anybody gotten similar letters? I still haven't received any letter from colleges. Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated. I'm still waiting in Oregon for my PSAT score.</p>

<p>Um last year I scored in the 96% percentile and got nothing... strange.</p>

3

<p>I wrote Poli Sci as my major in college. It could either be based on that, my scores, or my GPA.</p>

4

<p>Oh I put undecided. Ya it could be that. I had a near perfect GPA as well so its not that.</p>

5

<p>thanks for the response. I hoping it means 99% percentile.</p>

<p>I wouldn't value this letter too highly, it's essentially spam. Just like colleges can, organizations like Presidential Classroom buy the lists of names from CollegeBoard who are in a certain percentile. What that percentage is, who knows, as it's impossible to say without hard data. However, I've received a bunch of those letters over the last year and was in the 96th percentile of juniors last year on the PSAT.</p>

<p>I don't think Presidential Classroom is that selective. </p>

<p>However, Texas A&M did send my daughter a congratulatory letter and info about their National Merit scholarships before she received her scores and yes, that was a definite indication.</p>
