For parents of future applicants: tell your kids not to check that box on the SAT’s or ACT’s! The only information that our family receives is info that we have requested specifically from the schools



I second that. It is very easy. My daughter did that the first time she registered for the PSAT as a sophomore and every time she took a test. I didn’t even have to tell her.

The only thing is, you have to be prepared to feel a little less loved. Everyone around you will be getting tons of college email and brochures, and you will get nothing. Unless you ask for it.
