Very First Piece of Mail

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>I got my very first piece of college mail today. Though isn't it a bit early (I'm a sophomore) for colleges to be sending stuff?</p>

<p>btw, the 2 places that sent me stuff today was WUSTL and Long Island University.</p>

<p>Be prepared to get lots and lots more. It doesn't end until you've been accepted somewhere.</p>

<p>Have you taken the SAT or PSAT? That's usually how colleges get your address.</p>

3

<p>^^And even then, some colleges don't get the hint that it's February and you're not interested.</p>

4

<p>"Be prepared to get lots and lots more."</p>

<p>I'd like to add on to the end of that sentence, "from WUSTL." Thank you.</p>

<p>I've been accepted to Brown ED, but suddenly I'm getting a huge influx of this mail from Ohio State. I never expressed any interest in there. I wonder what their deal is.</p>

6

<p>Ugh, I've been getting all these emails from colleges. It's a bit hard wading through them, so I just keep them in a little Hotmail folder.</p>

7

<p>lol I got accepted to Wake Forest ED and even after accepted for a month they sent me a weekly packet and application.</p>

8

<p>yeah, U Pitt doesn't seem to realize that they already accepted me two months ago.</p>

<p>WUSTL....get ready for atleast another year and a half of stuff from that place. nonstop mail from them. ahhhhhh.....after a while i just tossed it. never even considered goin there. but hey u might like it, lots of people do</p>

<p>You could be eco-friendly and recycle all this college mail. There's the bright side!</p>

<p>My very first piece of college mail was in sophomore year, too. Some summer program in Stanford that I certainly could not afford. Ah, sophomore year. The one year in which I opened all of my college mail. Now most of it gets tossed in the recycling bin before/shortly after I open it. I think I've saved a whole tree recycling WUSTL mail.</p>

12

<p>I have kept most of my college mail, since I have only recieved about 5 pieces (I never submit information to College Board when I take their tests).</p>

13

<p>^^Smart man</p>

14

<p>if you took the PSAT as a freshmen, and didnt bomb it or keep them from selling out ur info, its very normal to start getting mail by sophmore yr</p>

<p>and them selling out ur info isnt necessarily a bad thing, but fo real, the collegeboard and their monopoly is worse than microsoft</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>word</p>

<p>but then again theyr ranked 4th overall now... i wonder if sb forgot to tell them</p>

15

<p>I'm a freshman and already got an invitation to a college planning fair.</p>

<p>I guess it's never too early!</p>

16

<p>Yeah, the flow started today too for me. TCU (I'm not christian), U Miami (yeah, right), LSU (admittedly snickered a tad at that) and several others. More'll come.</p>

<p>Think of it as fanmail :)</p>

17

<p>No, it's never too early - colleges figure if they send you stuff early then their name will stick and you'll be more prone to go there.</p>

<p>It never stops. I'm still getting college stuff and I'm done applying and have heard from most of my schools. Ugh.</p>

18

<p>Im a sophomore too and I didnt take the PSATs as a frosh, only as a soph. my e-mail has been stuffed with college stuff. havnt gotten any paper mail yet though.</p>

19

<p>I'm still getting stuff too, and I've finished all of my apps. Around the middle of my junior year, I just started throwing everything into my closet, and now there's sort of an avalanche of college mail...mostly from WUSTL, unfortunately.</p>

<p>that's interesting. i get mail from every college on the planet except WUSTL. maybe they don't like me haha</p>
