<p>At universities, many grad students wear their undergraduate regalia.</p>
<p>@latichever ^actually these were not grad students on the Northwestern tour. They were prospective undergrads with their parents taking the tour and going to the info session. It was overtly obnoxious IMHO.</p>

<p>That is true, UNTIL this time of senior year. It means nothing then IF the kid didn’t apply or hasn’t heard about acceptance yet. But once they have heard back, and if they got accepted, it has more implications.</p>
<p>I think it is a more important lesson for kids to learn to deal with the rejection than to be quiet about their achievements…don’t feel like you shouldn’t post on social media that you got in just because not everybody can. You earned it! And the t-shirt thing is just silly, I agree that I got t-shirts from quite a few schools I visited and also my siblings/parents colleges, and I wore them before and after I applied to college. If these kids legitimately can’t handle the envy of another kids’ success, maybe they’ll work harder in the future. Just my opinion…</p>
<p>And @intparent - I commend you for your high moral ground, because I think if I was a parent I would’ve had a hard time not laughing if I found out my kid pulled out that mug…granted, I am 17- but still funny.</p>
<p>[quoe=SomeOldGuy]DC#2 and I saw a young woman wearing Stanford-logo yoga pants on her tour of Berkeley. A bold fashion statement, to be sure.

Somewhere here is a UCB joke, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. There must be a humor subforum somewhere…</p>
