Liberty University (yes, Jerry Falwell's school) kept on sending me reminders that I had been "automatically accepted;" they even called my house!
I told them that I was seriously into LGBT causes (which I wasn't) and they left me alone after that. No clue why they even had my name to begin with...

I presume they still do, but when I went to college, most subscribed to the SAT (probably ACT, too) scores. If you had reasonable scores, particularly if you fit a demographic they wanted, you landed on their marketing lists.
Some schools apparently just send to an entire high-school mailing list, too. My mentally retarded son gets occasional information mailings from colleges ... but more often from for-profit schools.

I love you, seriously  That was awesome.
U Chicago almost got hypo hooked with their literature because it was all very Harry Potter focused. Until we went there and, on a beautiful October Saturday afternoon, there was nobody around, except in the library.

They recently changed their literature to include more smiling students. Really. Hypo dodged a bullet.

There's a website with lots of clever one-liners about The University of Chicago, such as:
"U Chicago...where fun comes to die."
"U Chicago...the level of Hell Dante forgot."
"U Chicago...where the only thing that goes down on you is your GPA."
You get the idea...definitely discouraged my daughter from applying. It just sounded way too intense.
Here's the URL: http://uofcslogans.blogspot.com/

I think it is a great option for grad/medical/law school, but not as an undergrad.
