35 years ago I started getting post cards and brochures in the mail from colleges after taking the PSAT. I assume they had to have gotten my name and mailing info from the College Board. Is this really anything new?

Nope but what I think the author is trying to point out that might be new is if they're using that list to entice kids to apply, that they are fairly certain won't get admitted, to up their "exclusivity" numbers.
