College Spam and where do I want to go?

I have been getting a ton of mail from colleges which is kind of funny because I am only a Sophomore...my mom says it's good, and she wants me to go to Amherst...I've never heard of it, but it did show up on these lists that I found! I haven't gotten any letters from Harvard! Oh well.
