<p>sure its a nice folder and all, but a bumper sticker would have been nice, is it too much to ask for a bumper sticker for 42000 dollars?</p>
<p>oh well, I'll pick up my duke gear at blue devil days!</p>
<p>I've been accepted 4 other places and have only gotten a sticker from one!! It's dissapointing. It wasn't even a removable sticker...it was like "if you put this in your car you MUST go here."</p>
<p>I have a feeling that we will get the 'cooler' trinkets when we accept our spots and they send us info in May (don't blame me if we don't... it's just a feeling).</p>
<p>seahorse_05 - if I remember right you're correct. I know one of the things my son got was a nice Duke poster. I remember being quite impressed with the mailing comapared to the one our older son received from Stanford two years before.</p>
<p>They gave us a poster, isn't that cool enough lol</p>
<p>I actually only got a bumper sticker from Williams, so I'm thinking a bigger school like Duke probably wouldn't want to send out a sticker to every person</p>
<p>There wasn't any merit $ in mine...I guess that's disappointing...</p>
<p>will they give ipods this year?</p>
<p>I wouldn't base my college choice based on if I'm going to get a $300 mp3 player.</p>
<p>true, but there are rumors flying around the accepted student website that they are going to do so because it was a selling point(albeit inance) for the school</p>
<p>obviously im not going to choose my college based on whether i get an ipod on not. d'oh, i already have one.</p>
<p>Yeah...I think they'll give you decals if you decide to matriculate there. My friend got in ED and he got a "Duke Class of 2009" decal for his car...</p>
<p>We got a "Duke parent" sticker last year</p>
<p>The buzz on the accepted student website and webboard is that they will continue giving free iPods this year upon arrival in August, as part of a "research initiative." LOL. I love how colleges pass things off.</p>
<p>I was super excited to get my acceptance package, I was just uber depressed when I got my financial package and realized that regardless, I can't afford Duke.</p>
<br>
<p>There wasn't any merit $ in mine...I guess that's disappointing...</p>
<br>
<p>Is that supposed to be awarded at the same time the admission letter is sent?</p>
<p>You would have been contacted via phone if you were to receive merit scholarships by this point.</p>
<p>BCgoUSC, I'm in the same situation. At least you have the ability to say that you were accepted by Duke, and, hey, there's always grad school. I'm off to the University of Texas.</p>
<p>Thats what I keep telling myself
THERES ALWAYS GRAD SCHOOL!!</p>
<p>I think the nicest touch was the sticker on the front of the folder with the "[My name] - Class of 2009" on it.</p>
<p>yeah, that was a nice touch :)</p>
<p>I read in the paper that they are officially giving Ipods... but this will be the last year.</p>
