Handwritten Note from an alumnus?

Has anyone else received a handwritten note from and alumnus of UGA? D18 received one today, just curious if this is something they do often.

We also received a very nicely written note last week after being admitted in the EA round. I’m not sure if this is common, but it was definitely appreciated. Helps keep UGA on the front burner as we wait for the RD from other schools. While the EA schools can form relationships with the admitted students, there is a risk that they become forgotten if they don’t stay in touch.

Yes, my daughter got one last week also, from a girl about to finish up her medical residency. She got a call the other night from a student as well. I guess they are working hard to recruit these kids. Unfortunately, my daughter only has received the classic scholarship so far, which it half the difference between in state and OOS. We would need a lot more than that to make UGA viable for us. Don’t get me wrong, we are very proud of her and very grateful to UGA, but it just won’t be enough.
