o You've Got (too Much) Mail
• In the age of Facebook,
Twitter and texting, top
prospect Roberto Nelson was
still courted through
thousands of postal deliveries
from college coaches. Is the
annual flood of letters
effective—or a waste of
paper?

6. • Nelson received 2,161 pieces of mail from
56 programs
• Of the 2,161 pieces of mail that arrived
on Nelson's doorstep, only 200—or 9.3%—
featured writing tailored specifically for
him.
• How many pieces of recruiting mail did
USC and Oregon State send Nelson?
Zero

7. How can we do this for FREE!
• TWITTER
• FACEBOOK
• MYSPACE
• WORDPRESS
• ZINCH

8. Apply To College From
Facebook
• From now on, not only can you spend your college
days idling on Facebook, you can even apply to
college from Facebook. You can do this through
an application called College Planner, which is a
tool for student wannabes to research their
options and see which colleges their friends are
interested in. After you choose the ones you
like, you can send your application directly from
College Planner.
