Met expectations, as DC is a very strong test-taker.[/quote]
Within days emails from second-rate colleges started arriving in multitudes. Nice side business selling our kids data, College Board!  :x [/quote]

Don't kids get to choose whether they get information from colleges or not? [/quote]
Yes, but the kids are clueless and do not know that they have a choice, or forget to do this on the day of test.[/quote]

I read an article in the NYT about this, so I warned my children not to fill out those sections on the PSAT. We've gotten no junk mail from colleges. [/quote]

Eh, I find it harmless and DS has been amused: "Dear John, you are Hofstra material!"

Back in my day it all used to come in the mail. (I believe I was "Hofstra material" too!). Now it's just click and delete, not even a paper issue to deal with. But I remember that, for me, it added to the excitement. Though I was smart enough to know I was really just a name on a direct mail list, it was cool getting all that literature from colleges far and wide, most I'd never even heard of. It let me imagine that I was actually being recruited for my stellar potential (and middling scores).
