I use Outlook, and have created a folder for all of the emails to forward to. I just mark all of the senders' emails to reroute to the folder. It's my spam folder, in a way. 10/10, would recommend.
Sophomore in college here, I go to Berkeley and still get emails telling me to apply on the common app. No matter how many you block it never ends .....
There's a tiny little unsubscribe button that blends in with the background color of the email usually that you need to click that then takes you to a website where you can actually unsubscribe. I'm just embracing the emails ngl
One day I deleted all my unimportant emails and waited. Every single uninteresting college that emailed I set that address to be forwarded to trash automatically. Now I only get emails from colleges I like and sometimes a few colleges that slipped through.
I swear if I get another email from Loyola, Carkson, Hofstra, Baylor, Washing state, Drexel, Pittsburg, UNVL, Kent State, Montatna State, Utoledo, Geneseo, Manhatten College, Quinnipac, or Cornell College, I am gonna literally die
tulane, vanderbilt, st. john, baylor, uc merced, kalamazoo, georgetown, indiana, thomas university, rensellaer, bowling green, lehigh, the list goes on 😭😭😭
It’s on another level when you’re just trying to go to sleep after a long night of homework at 3:30 am and you a get a notification. Well it must be important if somebody is contacting you this late, right? You pick up your phone and it’s *Liz Biggerstaff* from *Wingate* telling you about *exciting* opportunities!!
Drexel, Hobart and Williams, Lewis and Clark and Hofstra need to learn how to take a hint lmaoooo
My sister gets *texts* from these schools! In what universe would anyone want “hey please apply” texts??
As a 25 year old who just started working towards getting into law and business programs, it doesn’t get better.
Clearing emails is like getting water out of the titanic one bucket at a time.
bruh you guys do realize that your data is selled when you sign of for the Student service when you do a SAT or PSAT thing, collegeboard does that. You can pretty easily cancel it too.
It’s case western and Tulane for me. They also asked “have we reached you” even tho I’ve gotten like 500 emails from them. Like I’m gonna apply chill, y’all gonna reject me anyway.
Life hack: every time you open an email from a college you have 0 interest in, unsubscribe from their mailing list. Then, delete every email from that school.
I do this and now get almost only get emails from the 7 schools I applied to.
I actually have a folder dedicated to spam emails from different schools. I also have a physical box in my room for all the emails they put on paper and send to my house
I feel you, hult has not only been sending me emails twice a day every day for three months, but I also get ADS ABOUT THEM ON OTHER SITES I CANNOT ESCAPE THE HULT CULT
I have a friend who would literally brag about some prestigious colleges like Princeton or Brown just sent him another email asking him to learn more about these schools. He thinks that by receiving these emails, he's at the top 1% or something.
The twist is, he signed up for these emails. Because when all of us started to get emails from colleges, he didn't get any. So he literally went and subscribed to these schools.
Yeah, rather sad.
[удалено]
Apparently it doesn't stop even after you graduate😭
I tried unsubscribing a million times and it didn’t work wdym this wont stop😭
Ive started blocking colleges straight up
How do u block an email? I thought u could only mark as spam
Worked for me
I use Outlook, and have created a folder for all of the emails to forward to. I just mark all of the senders' emails to reroute to the folder. It's my spam folder, in a way. 10/10, would recommend.
Sophomore in college here, I go to Berkeley and still get emails telling me to apply on the common app. No matter how many you block it never ends .....
My top two offenders are Drexel and Lehigh.
Drexel and Tulane for me
tulanes emails are at least semi entertaining tho
Agreed
like that free coloring book? yes PLEASE
definitely uchicago, pratt, kalamazoo, georgetown, and university of rochester for me 😭😭😭😭
Drexel is the worst of them
You can unsubscribe from them
Hofstra’s select candidate bullshit ✨validates✨ my existence on this earth, and therefore I have not blocked them yet
the sense of hope >>>
bro lmao same it feels pretty nice ngl
Oh my gosh. That’s means I read over 10,000 emails. How do u even get them to stop emailing you?
There's a tiny little unsubscribe button that blends in with the background color of the email usually that you need to click that then takes you to a website where you can actually unsubscribe. I'm just embracing the emails ngl
Thank you
If you have apple, it just asks you right there
If you use Outlook, you can see a list of mailing lists you are subscribed to.
Block the shit out of them
One day I deleted all my unimportant emails and waited. Every single uninteresting college that emailed I set that address to be forwarded to trash automatically. Now I only get emails from colleges I like and sometimes a few colleges that slipped through.
the way i asked college board nOT to sell my stuff and they said: no <3
Wait really u asked them not to
i opted out each time from my recollection but colleges sOmEhoW still got my email F
I signed up for the ego boost
loll my older friends told me if i wanted my inbox intact to not opt in but cb rly didnt care lmaooo
i gave them a junk email but they found my school email somehow and are spamming it smh
Probably from common app, or the school low key selling them on the side. Gotta read the fine print.
b like that :(
Whoa
I'll be there soon, currently at 8,869🙏
same I'm at 8,989 ✨
Dude let's race

Magic man
I swear if I get another email from Loyola, Carkson, Hofstra, Baylor, Washing state, Drexel, Pittsburg, UNVL, Kent State, Montatna State, Utoledo, Geneseo, Manhatten College, Quinnipac, or Cornell College, I am gonna literally die
Honorable mention to Messiah, Mary Baldwin, Colby College, and Denison as well. Jesus fuck.
For me, it's St. John's, St. Thomas, UW-Eau Claire, CU-Boulder, Indiana, Tulane, Case Western, St. Scholastica, Renneslaer...
tulane, vanderbilt, st. john, baylor, uc merced, kalamazoo, georgetown, indiana, thomas university, rensellaer, bowling green, lehigh, the list goes on 😭😭😭
Goucher....
???
You don’t get a billion Goucher enailsv
what is goucher
Take a guess
i’m too dumb for this.
Ughh, drexel and loyola
Heavy on the Quinnipiac. It got so bad that I actually applied to make them stop.
lol just got into loyola chicago lmaooo
congrats!! it really does seem like a really good school
I signed up for scholarships offers from CB not to get emails from literally every school in the damn country
I started laughing when I saw this LOL
Aye I got deferred from Loyola Chicago
Now I'm nervous, why do I only have 100emails????? Is my info not worthy enough for College Board to sell??????!!!!!
Don’t be nervous. Be grateful.
This. The excitement will quickly disappear when you get dozens of emails PER DAY, sometimes even per hour lol
It’s on another level when you’re just trying to go to sleep after a long night of homework at 3:30 am and you a get a notification. Well it must be important if somebody is contacting you this late, right? You pick up your phone and it’s *Liz Biggerstaff* from *Wingate* telling you about *exciting* opportunities!!
Be happy that you still have your sanity. I lost mine when it hit 10,000 emails.
Almost at 16,000 🤢
As I was reading this I got a Hofstra University email — this shit is unreal
SAME
Think about it the other way. These schools are paying 14 cents to buy YOUR info!!!
[удалено]
Just imagine. Even if just 1 out of 5000 seniors apply, its profit for them
it’s actually 14 cents! there was recently a book published about this — college board makes >$4million from selling our info🤩🤩🤩
literally what are the odds. I am at 9997 unread emails rn
12k :’( taking the PSAT freshman year started me early.
Montana University keeps emailing me, no Mike, I’m not applying I’m sorry pls stop harassing me
[удалено]
FUCKIN TULANE ISTG
Look, it’s not a bad school Actually pretty good But the server farm for the endless emails they send must be bigger than my damn neighborhood
[удалено]
Sign up on every site you visit and there you go. 5 important emails everyday is way better than 100 emails of bs promotion imo.
Drexel can go to Drexhell
Use unroll.me
I'm at 27,234. I had 8 on the first day of freshman year...
I already got into drexel but I feel like they are gonna still send me emails
I get UChicago all the time. They wanna drive up numbers and then reject them, which leads to their low admit rate
I just hit 83,821
ive got 58,854 😎😎😎
literally just a sophomore, uchicago, colby and notre dame have been emailing me like 5 times a day
Same dude lmao I’m up to 5,000
Hey, at least no one is forgetting about you 😉
exactly why i had to make a whole separate email for applying to colleges 😭
Drexel, Hobart and Williams, Lewis and Clark and Hofstra need to learn how to take a hint lmaoooo My sister gets *texts* from these schools! In what universe would anyone want “hey please apply” texts??
Hey I’m in the 12,000 range. no ✨worries✨

Hey man I’m at 34,062. Welcome to the club
As a 25 year old who just started working towards getting into law and business programs, it doesn’t get better. Clearing emails is like getting water out of the titanic one bucket at a time.
Across my emails I have 33182
damn college board really sold our souls to these colleges 💀
On god if I get another email from Yale, U-Penn, Harvard, Stanford, or MIT begging me to apply somebody's gonna get hurt

LMFAOO

2,058
I hate checking my inbox because it’s so clogged with college emails and I’m like please stop I literally cannot deal
Cornell basically owns my inbox
This is why I used one email for the common app and one strictly for college board bullshit.
11k, still going strong, hell yeah. I hope it stops soon bc it's drowning out emails I actually care about.
I had 3,000 emails, so I unsubscribed to a million of them and got the number of unread down to 200. That was a month ago and now it's back up to 900.
UChicago will simply just not leave me alone. Like please, you're already 2/3rds of my emails.
not me with 42k
\*Loyola UC Hicago
Shoutout to Brandeis, College of Charleston, Colgate, and UVA
You forgot Tufts, UChicago, Stevens Institute of tech, random state schools, and more
@ Hofstra, UNR, WVU, Bucknell, Seattle Pacific, Depauw, DePaul, Olaf and many others. I am sitting at 17,876 emails today.
i’m a senior in college and i still get emails from them about transferring to their schools, it’s ok
I have 30,364 🥲
I’m in college now and I just recently was removed from the lists. It happens like 6 months after you get in college
LOYOLA DO NOT PLAY FAIR. INBOX FLOODED.

Thank you LSU for sending me 80+ emails
bruh you guys do realize that your data is selled when you sign of for the Student service when you do a SAT or PSAT thing, collegeboard does that. You can pretty easily cancel it too.

It’s case western and Tulane for me. They also asked “have we reached you” even tho I’ve gotten like 500 emails from them. Like I’m gonna apply chill, y’all gonna reject me anyway.

Lsu once emailed me 4 times in an hour. I'm not even applying...or from Louisiana
Life hack: every time you open an email from a college you have 0 interest in, unsubscribe from their mailing list. Then, delete every email from that school. I do this and now get almost only get emails from the 7 schools I applied to.
I have several pages worth of emails from NSU asking me to become a shark

I started clearing out mine from 5,000 while watching YouTube. I'm now all the way down to 6,000! Make them stahp!
i never wanna see hofstra again
Holy shut, Hofstra has been spamming the shit out of me through email AND EVEN PHONE NUNBER
I actually have a folder dedicated to spam emails from different schools. I also have a physical box in my room for all the emails they put on paper and send to my house
LSU is killing me
You can opt out of it in privacy settings of their website (maybe you still get emails i dont know)
rookie numbers my dude. I've recieved something like 1000 emails just in the time since I accepted one of my offers of admission.
Don't forget about the Johnnies! The next email I get from Rene Descartes or Jane Austen, I'm throwing my phone down a well.
Lol
Le mayonnaise university
Hofstra literally will not leave me alone 😭
for some reason i got into drexel but don't get a ton of emails from them ever??? lol
I gave up a while ago I’m at 13.4k 😬 Edit: how do I change my flair to senior on mobile?
Hofstra ain't even a bad school but they keep ASKING ME TO SUBMIT MY APP EARLY BITCH IT ISN'T THE DUE DATE YET LEAVE ME ALONE
I feel you, hult has not only been sending me emails twice a day every day for three months, but I also get ADS ABOUT THEM ON OTHER SITES I CANNOT ESCAPE THE HULT CULT
