College Spam

 

Kevin’s PSAT scores must have been reported to the collegiate world at large sometime on January 14th. Why do we think that? Because there have been a virtual flood of emails from colleges congratulating him on them in the electronic home mailbox.  From who?

Rochester Institute of Technology

Carleton College

University of Evansville

Champlain College

Colorado State University

St. Olaf College

Macalester College

Oberlin College

Williams College

Sadly, for all of these schools, the likelihood of Kevin even looking at their email is slim. We forwarded them all to his personal mailbox (the recent flood has made me rethink which address we should have given) but knowing Kevin I’d be surprised if he even glanced at them.

(edit).  Typed that before Kevin knew about the emails…he was pretty motivated to see them.  I guess I should restate that….the likelihood of Kevin giving any of those schools more than a quick glance is slim…
