[quote=Anonymous]When your child takest the PSAT they enter valuable information - address, ZIP CODE ($$), intended major, interests, GPA, religion, race, etc. Once that info is entered then colleges purchase the list of students at XX a head for what they are seeking. If your child puts down "4.0" GPA, engineering, Christian and 22101 zip code and gets XX on the PSAT, those schools seeking that type of individual will send you materials both by mail and by email. DC has been inundated with mail (I've never looked at the email traffic) since taking the PSAT. It means absoluting NOTHING. All the schools want to do is increase the volume of applicants so they can reject your kid so as to appear more Selective for the reporting boards. Read Andy Ferguson's "Crazy U".[/quote]
