<p>I've gotten 2 pieces of mail from colleges about psat. Columbia and TCU. I know other people have gotten more mail. What does this mean? For those who got a lot of mail, when did they send/write the letter?</p>
<p>bumpity bump</p>
<p>I just got my PSAT scores back today and its high enough for my state to be semi-finalist (217) and I haven't gotten any special mail.</p>
<p>Did you do anything to show interest is Columbia or TCU that would cause them to mail you something? (Like joining their mailing list if you visited the college)</p>
<p>Well, Columbia just always sends me stuff. I replied back once and they've been sending me a lot of stuff. I've never shown interest in TCU though. It was just very random. Both letters said they got my name from a national survey/College board. May be its for AP... </p>
<p>Pygo, did you check the yes box on the PSAT form to get mail from colleges?</p>
<p>yea...I've gotten stuff from Emory this week</p>
<p>anybody get things from other ivies?</p>
<p>no, i did not</p>
<p>this is random lol, but i just wanted to say my dad went to TCU, if indeed by TCU u mean Texas Christian University. otherwise, nvm.</p>
<p>yep. good old tejas</p>
<p>i got letters from crap schools .. did i get a crappy score?</p>
<p>yeah, i've been getting crappy mail too. i guess i'll find out what it means when i get my score, hopefully tomorrow or the day after.</p>
<p>what if you haven't received any mail from colleges? does that mean my score was so bad that i can't go to college?</p>
<p>don't be ridiculous</p>
<p>After last year's PSAT, I got mail from crappy obscure schools I've never heard of to places like Stanford and Yale, so don't take the all the mail too seriously.</p>
<p>NOOOO but i got stuff from harvard and columbia... julius, u have dashed my hopes at a good score...</p>
<p>I don't really know about "special mail" from CB, but if you score high enough, Yale will send you a "consider us" postcard some time second semester... If I remember correctly.</p>
<p>I don't know the relation between psat scores and mail but I just got a big packet from swarthmore, so that's a good thing maybe? Its the first piece of mail from swarthmore that I've gotten and I didn't request it...</p>
<p>you really don't have to get a really high score to get mail from Yale....last year as a sophmore I got a postcard saying "Consider Yale" and I got a 178 on the PSAT....</p>
<p>I didn't get "special mail' for my PSAT score until September of senior year when I was notified about being a National Hispanic Scholar.</p>
<p>You do get some special stuff in the mail (I'm a NM s-finalist). For example, last year, before even receiving my scores--I got a letter from the Telluride Association, this ultra-prestigious program that you can only apply for if you score in the top 2% on the PSAT or are nominated. Haha, needless to say, I applied and didn't get it...but life goes on.</p>
<p>Also, in your junior year, you get a letter notifying you that can send your PSAT scores to 2 colleges of your choice--choose wisely, my dears.</p>
