[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither of our kids who both scored in the 95%+ on the PSAT/SAT got any mailings from U Chicago.  I think some zip codes get plastered and others don't.[/quote]

My kid who got 1500 on their 1st SAT got weekly mailings from U of Chicago starting the beginning of junior year.

My kid who got 1460 on the SAT received only 1 mailing from U of Chicago.   They retook the SAT 6 months later and scored above 1500.  The U of Chicago mailings onslaught started after the score topped 1500.

Perhaps the school is only postcard bombing 1500+ SAT scores?[/quote]

My kid started getting bombarded when he took his first AP exam and earned a 5. He's gotten a few mailings from Swarthmore, too, but only after earning 5s on his next two APs as well. Hasn't taken the SAT yet, but will be NMSF based on PSAT score.[/quote]

How many kids get 1500+ each year?

It’s around 20-22 thousand.

Spamming mailers to every single one of them is very cost effective if every application yields $75 in fees and boosts selectivity.
