<p>So it looks like this sort of marketing does work.</p>
<p>Lol I actually changed my mind again, might as well apply to a school with better Cs undergrad and is also less competitive right?</p>
<p>Why are you counting the number of emails you get from Vanderbilt? Like other posters said, don’t read into it too much. Even if you’re closer to their 25th percentile, you have a shot at getting in, so they’re sending you information. Vanderbilt wants to seem interested in you so that you’ll apply, and Vanderbilt will look more selective. You’re definitely not the only one getting spammed by colleges. And there are a lot of factors you need to look into when choosing what schools to apply to. Most people do apply to a few reach schools. By the way, are you a senior? It seems a little late to be starting to figure out what schools to apply to.</p>
