<p>Hi Guys,</p>
<p>I recently received a letter from Stanford's Pre-Collegiate Studies. I haven't submitted any information to them, except maybe college board gave them my PSAT scores. My question is, since I won't be getting my PSAT scores soon, is the letter a good indication that I did well on the PSAT? On the letter, it said that they only invite top high school students to apply to their High School Summer College program. Does that mean I might have done well on the PSAT? </p>
<p>Also, if people have received the letter and know their scores, can you guys please post your scores? Thanks.</p>
<p>Please help me guys, I’m kind of desperate </p>
<p>The way it works is that the college board divides students into ranges by their scores, ethnicity, grades, etc. Then colleges can ask for certain ranges of students (“all Latinos scoring above a 200”) and use those students as marketing targets. I got a stanford letter thus year with a 235, but I got one freshman year with my 196. So… </p>
<p>I am a Junior and my ethnicity is Asian. Can you predict the range? @Smargent</p>

<p>Just ignore this letter. This is a marketing material and means nothing.</p>
<p>The letter does not mean anything other than trying to get you to pay 10k for a class.</p>
<p>Getting the letter probably means you scored over a certain threshold, my kid got one he got a 202 on PSAT, another child I know got a 196 and received one also. </p>
<p>Thank you so much @samiamy</p>
<p>My son got a few of these letters. It’s about marketing and getting families to spend money on their kid even before they start college. Don’t sweat it.</p>
<p>May I ask what your son scored on the PSAT? @Chillmom1961 </p>
<p>DC3225, why are desperate? You’ve been told that schools purchase lists of PSAT score RANGES for marketing purposes. The marketing to students offer NO insignt whatsoever in the future chances of admissions. </p>
<p>You will get your official scores pretty soon, and that is all that matters. As far as the material that school will send you in the next years, do yourself a favor and just use the brochures for information. </p>
<p>If OP has been reading the PSAT posts, he should most likely have a score by now using the processes described unless he is one of the unfortunate who gets an error while hacking.</p>
