<p>I received my acceptance letter yesterday!</p>
<p>Me too. It was pretty sweet.</p>
<p>I just want my financial aid estimate already.</p>
<p>I like how nice the folder and acceptance letter is.</p>
<p>I get why some folks (#11 and 13 above) think that the certificate of admission is a bit pretentious. It is. As a parent, though, I liked it, and I believe that - in some part of him - my son did also (although he’d be loath to admit it). </p>
<p>After all, it really IS an achievement to be admitted to the U of C. And it’s such a feel-good moment when your child is holding that acceptance folder in his hands… There’s nothing wrong with going just a little bit over the top right then!</p>
<p>I fail to see how in anyway that certificate of admission is pretentious.
It is quite an honor to be accepted at Chicago, and I’m sure several no name colleges or universities send out certificates of admissions as well.</p>
