<p>I find the insinuation that I, or others who have been accepted, will decide to go to UChicago because we were “flattered or delighted” by the free stuff sort of insulting. UChicago is a fantastic school and yes their marketing scheme involves giving away free stuff to appeal to its prospies, so what? It seems like, and I’m just saying this was my interpretation, you are implying that you have some unique knowledge of this that we don’t possess. We know. We get it. We don’t really care. I’m sure your intentions are pure in both your posting as well as towards your children but you don’t have to act all “affronted” (for lack of a better word) about getting free things to us. We aren’t as impressionable as you think, we were deemed intellectual enough to be accepted in the first place which means we all possess the ability to think critically and see through marketing ploys. You might have been more gullible when you were a kid but I would like to think that the other students on this forum and myself aren’t.</p>
