Not sure about College Letters...

does anyone know if the letters that Cornell and Yale and all those schools mail us mean anything?

I feel like the schools arent truly interested in the student; theyre just widening their nets....?

Yeah, they really don't. I got a few letters from Harvard and I thought, "They probably send these to everyone who did okay on the PSAT."

Well, they are interested in students who have done well on the PSAT, hence the letter. They don't send them to everyone, if that's what you're concerned about.
