Recruitment letter from Princeton to a HS junior

<p>How many of this type of letter inviting HS juniors to visit does Princeton send out? I think they got contact info, scores etc. from college board. The letter arrived in April, followed by a viewbook. This is an unhooked kid and not an athlete.</p>

<p>Older child got similar from HPY several years ago, but we read on CC that H had sent out 70K or so such letters that year.</p>

<p>Wondering just how special this is (or not)...</p>

<p>What do you mean by “recruitment letter”? If it’s the standard advertising material (which I assume it is), it doesn’t really mean anything and is certainly not very special.</p>

<p>If they purchased your info from CB, not that special.</p>

<p>You asked about this on the Yale board too. No, it doesn’t mean anything. No matter who you get the recruitment stuff from, it doesn’t mean anything. Your S/D got a certain score on his/her PSAT and got a letter from the school for that reason.</p>

<p>they send these to anyone who demonstrates even the smallest bit of literacy on standardized tests. so congrats- you have an 8% chance to be admitted to Princeton, just like the rest of the applicants!</p>
