Ridiculous, step up college board, and step up colleges.

Yeah, I remember in HS when I got a letter from a college after I took my tests, I was like, 'DOPE! Colleges are actually trying to "recruit" me!'

Then my bubble burst when I started getting like 3 pieces of mail per day from different colleges and I realized all my friends were, too.

I hate to say it but even after you get accepted and go to a college many of the others still send you letters. I was getting letters from colleges when I was in Junior year of college. And it wasn't the "you should transfer to our college" letters, it was "you should apply, high schooler!"

You're not special. We all get them, and it's annoying.

You can look forward to getting spam from colleges for the rest of your life, unfortunately. I have a degree and I still get letters.
