<p>To the extent that it matters, that is probably true. The schools buy mailing lists and decide who to send their stuff to. The first time you sign up for junk mail is when you take the PSAT’s. I don’t think who you get the junk from means that much, though. Some lesser schools may be mailing to everybody. I don’t think Harvard sends it to everybody. I wonder if Bill Gates gets stuff in the mail about refinancing his house.</p>
