Those colleges are known as marketing machines which means they send out an enormous volume of packets. Do not take it personally any more than your parents would take a publishers clearinghouse sweepstakes personally. Those colleges are great colleges but they have moved up in the US news rankings significantly because US news uses admit rate as a factor. So the more kids that they can get to apply and reject the higher they go in rank. To be fair, they would love to find interesting kids who might not have otherwise applied. But this is pure marketing materials. They get lists from all over the place, they don’t know anything about you. Base any hope on your gpa and sat being inline, then your story comes into play.
