Does the score you receive on the PSAT have any correlation to the types of colleges you receive mailings from. (Such as if you received a higher score you are contacted by more prestigious schools?)



Some correlation. Some schools probably send mail/email to just about everyone (or everyone I know), but others only send it to those who get above certain scores, etc.

My parents (who sort the mail) throw out most of the college stuff before I read it, so all I know is I got email from Caltech and Brown, and my friend didn’t. :)

But of course these schools just send you letters so you apply => they can reject you => improve their yield.
