<p>My daughter wore only one piece of college gear -- a Swarthmore hoodie she started wearing in junior year. She wrote about it in her "Why Swarthmore?" essay.</p>
<p>We kicked around what to do with it if a bad news letter arrived. Burn it in the fireplace? My suggestion: Mail it to her adcom? I think she finally decided she would give it to a kid at the homeless shelter.</p>
