Colleges spamming my e-mail

[Teneksi]

Only like 80% of the nation

lol I can see why you did well

I think you mean something like "better than 80%" or the "80th percentile"

lol, when I took the PSAT I put my dad's e-mail down. He's still getting e-mails in my senior year.

I did.  That's just how they put it.

Nah on the PSAT it gives you a little infograph of your score and a sentence saying "You scored higher than <percent> of <gradelevel>ers"

80th percentile isn't that good...

I'm pretty sure "really good" is 99th percentile or better

Same thing happened to my email as soon as I hit my Junior year. Had Wentworth Institution of Technology, Notre Dame, Standford, Clarkson, etc all emailing me constantly.

99th percentile is being the top 1%

Yes, that's the point. Colleges don't go knocking down your door unless you're at least 99th percentile.

I'm not insulting the OP or anything, I'm just saying.

that's simply not true

[SlayerZ99]

i did pretty good

got in the top 10% or something in reading comprehension and writing

then in the top 3% in math

i get random letters from college mailed to me, and usually my friends get them too. i always dismiss those as the garbage ones, colleges should never try to recruit unless if it's like 95th percentile
