<p>Anyone get a T-shirt. I must say, with the emails, phone calls, and T-Shirt, Illinois sure knows how to market. Does everyone who gets offered admission get these perks?</p>
<p>what? you got a T-Shirt!? I've gotten a lot of emails and phone calls but no shirt...i want one...</p>
<p>S got a T-shirt yesterday. He thought is was pretty cool, but he still isn't going to UIUC.</p>
<p>Ha, where is he going, macattak? Rose-Hulman? Just wondering.</p>
<p>Do international students also get these t-shirts?</p>
<p>Nah. He was recruited by Rose because a lot of the profs are friends of the family. They've been taking him out there for tours, labs, etc since he was in grade school. He's intent on studying IE though and Rose doesn't offer it. He also says thta he'd feel like he had eyes onhim all the time. He's pretty much decided on Bradley. Very good IE rep and they came up with some pretty good $$. UIUC made him a James and gave the $2,500 offer, but the out of state is a killer. Bradley is less than Purdue and he likes the size a lot better. Our family is from Galesburg, so he'll have some uncles around in case he needs bail or something. :)</p>
<p>macattak,
Just wondering. I grew up in Galesburg. When were you there?</p>
<p>I lived there from '59 until '89, graduated in '77. Mom and bros are still there. My family was your typical Irish Catholic, so we bred like rabbits and I have cousins all over the place.</p>
