<p>Yeah thats kind of outrageous. Thats like saying "We live in NY so you can only wear Yankees or Mets hats in this school."</p>
<p>Hmm I suppose if nobody else got rejected (or deferred) ED from your school it's better, but people who got rejected and deferred from other schools still might be upset by it. I'm just playing it safe 'till march/april.</p>
<p>It sort of annoys me when people with no affiliation--love its teams, family, accepted, etc--wear college gear (everyone seems to have a harvard and yale sweatshirt).</p>
<p>I dunno, i visited some colleges over the summer and bought a sweatshirt at one and a teeshirt at another. dont see what the big deal is if i don't end up going there! i just bought them because i liked the color/style. ill still wear them after i get accepted to schools- but i wouldnt wear a harvard shirt at yale or ne thing like that.</p>
<p>sweaters are dressy shirt things.. made of wool or other materials... sweatshirts are just plane ol cotton that look better with hoods attached (then u refer to them as hoodies) Oh my goodness people... I hate it when boys call sweatshirts sweaters :S</p>
<p>I don't think I'll wear one even after I'm accepted. I'm one of the only ones applying to top ten schools and it would just be wierd. I'll keep wearing what I've always worn. But some people like to wear them, so more power to them.</p>
<p>lol good question...I don't know how it works at the college level, but at least at my school...the only people that wear are school sweatshirts on non-spirt days are freshmen...and they quickly stop when they are sophomores when they realize that all the upperclassmen just make fun of it!</p>
<p>uhhh...there's rules to this? well everyone at my school has broken all of them lol, we just wear whatever</p>
<p>most people just wear the sweater of the school that they ultimately decide to go to. also at my h/s, they honor top seniors at an assembly and theyre supposed to wear a shirt of the college that theyre attending. </p>
<p>personally, ive always been wearing berkeley stuff cuz my dad's an alumni. after i chose ucla, i just wore ucla stuff. nevertheless, ppl still think i chose to matriculate at berkeley.</p>
<p>The idea is not that its a rule, the idea is whats polite and "ethical." I think the only way to be impolite is to flaunt superiority or ED acceptance, any other shirt is fine. I.E. a Cornell acceptee can wear a colgate sweatshirt, but not a cornell sweatshirt (until RD time); sounds odd, but makes sense.</p>
<p>It depends if you are wearing it to make them mad or not. I know if someone wasn't wearing anything but they found out I was rejected and starting wearing it, I still wouldn't personally care but it would be offensive to others. I say wear whatever you want to.</p>
<p>so where can I buy the college gear online?</p>
<p>wearing a college sweatshirt that a person was accepted ED makes no difference about wearing it until april 1. people choose to apply RD and they made the decision to wait. and why can't the ED acceptee celebrate? he or she is finished with the crazy process. it's by no means meant to be a flaunt.</p>
<p>My school has a uniform but allowed seniors to wear any college sweatshirt of their choice for one day. I wore my San Francisco State sweatshirt with pride. I saw lots of Ivy League ones, though.</p>
<p>Kids at my school could care less really. I know ppl who wear shirts for lots of different schools.</p>
<p>I wear only gear from where I got in.</p>
<p>Two people got deferred.</p>
<p>Hell, I wore it to school anyway.</p>
<p>lol, thomaschau, i agree w/ you. i mean, seriously guys, if you get in to a school, even if it was ED and other people from your school may have gotten deferred/rejected, what's stopping you from wearing your school's shirt/hoodie?!? How does that have anything to do w/ ethics??? You got in. You wear the shirt. You've done nothing wrong, and if you're worried about other people's feelings, trust me, they'll get over it. What are they gonna do.. hate you for getting accepted?? If that's the case, then that's there problem, but really, you made it so you deserve congratulations and the chance to wear your school's d*** shirt.</p>
<p>Seriously, wear whatever you want. For me that means what I've worn every day for 10 years. For you, that may mean the hoodie of where you got accepted.</p>
<p>yeah *** it i'm wearing my cornell sweatshirt</p>
<p>Seriously, to try and set up some type of "ethical" system for wearing college gear is absolutely ridiculous. One positive thing about the whole situation is that if this is the biggest issue before you, you obviously live the good life.</p>
<p>Wear whatever you want.</p>
<p>A good place to buy stuff is Ebay. I got one of my Colgate shirts for $2 there.</p>
