Over the past few years, I have received at least 3491 college emails. There were times when I didn't bother to sort them, and just deleted them with all the other junk (GrabCAD and Southco are the worst for junk mail), so this total is lower. I did not end up applying to any of the schools that sent me an advertisement email.
Johnson and Wales, Babson, American International, Fordham, Gettysburg, Hofstra, and Iona have all sent me over 50 emails.
Even though I'm starting college this fall, I still get one or two of these emails a day, though it's not as bad as the fall of my senior year was. I was receiving at least 10 of these emails every day, with a record of 52 college related emails in one day. 38 of those 52 emails all came from the same place (Northeastern IIRC) when they made some sort of mistake and sent a bunch of duplicate emails.
