How do I get letters from colleges?

Question

I am currently a junior in high school and I would like to receive mail from colleges, including information packets and details about high school and summer programs. So far, the only mail I have received was from when I took the PSAT, and it hasn’t been very useful. I am particularly interested in hearing from reputable colleges, like Harvard or Stanford, as some of my friends do. I want to know how I can start receiving mail and letters from colleges like these, as I value tangible information that creates a more personal connection with the school as a potential applicant. While I understand that most information is available online, I prefer having printed materials. How can I get started in receiving this type of mail from colleges?

lots of times when you take the psat and other tests they ask if you want information from colleges, and to check the box if so. or if you have really good grades, good at sports, colleges hear about you and send information. you can just go online and request information as well.

i get AT LEAST 3-6 things from colleges every day, been that way since my junior year. after a while it gets a bit annoying, i don’t even open them anymore as i know where i’m applying to this fall.

i’m sure you’ll start receiving some soon. almost everyone does.

For the most part, when a school accepts you they send you either a letter with a link or mail in response sheet for you to confirm whether or not you’ll be attending. If either of those were included (and I don’t see why they wouldn’t be) then a letter is not necessary. However if nothing was included a follow up letter might be mailed out asking you to select a registration date. For the record, I don’t know anyone who has had to send out such a letter unless there was a last minute change of attendance.

I started getting College letters starting summer before senior year(which is now for me). I got them because I took the SAT and checked the share info box or something. However, I keep getting TONS of them from everywhere. I guess one way to get them is taking SATs or ACT.

Which colleges contact you is partially dependent on your PSAT scores and other information you/your school provided to the testing agency.  If you want to receive mail from a specific college, go to the website and sign up to get on their mailing list.
