<p>Today, I received a letter from Standford congratulating me on my “excellent acadamic achievement”. They are inviting me to attend their summer school, which I won’t be able to because of the expensive cost. How did they select me? I am across the country in Mississippi. I’m excited that I received a letter of recognition sorta, but I feel like they just choose random kids or maybe I signed up for some college websites like ■■■■■ and added that I would like to attend Stanford. Can anyone verify?</p>
<p>They likely purchased the info from College Board or ACT. Don’t read too much into this.</p>
<p>By the way, it’s Stanford not Standford. </p>
