<p>I got a cookie from Ashland university.</p>
<p>i got that same envelop RobDV
i kept it also!</p>
<p>cool things don't reach internationals :(</p>
<p>lol a cookie?</p>
<p>Yeah, Franklin Olin does have some interesting brochures. The anti-static bags they mail them in were useful when I was upgrading my computer. </p>
<p>The infamous kilt seems to have captured a good deal of attention.</p>
<p>I got a prescription vile with information about the college inside (since I'm applying for pharmacy major) It's so creative!</p>
<p>T-Shirt from Winthrop</p>
<p>Not exactly weird,
but I received a very personal Christmas Card from a college president. (And a one on one interview when I visited the school).
and trust me, not many of these were sent out lol</p>
<p>I got a pair of goggles from a school I had never heard of who was just starting out with a swim team. They broke in practice that same day though lol.</p>
<p>Not me, but a friend of mine who is african american and COMPLETELY LOADED (300k/yr+) was taken on trips sponsored by colleges to visit them. She went to 2 state schools honor programs, and 3 LACs in the midwest. It was a little strange seeing as she is rich.</p>
<p>From Hobart and Williams Smith I got a brochure that came with 3-D glasses, so all of the pictures inside were 3-D haha.</p>
<p>They must have the largest printing budget of any school. They constantly send anything and everything.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was offered a trip to a Texas school</p>
<p>

<p>ME TOO! And I want the post-its from A&M people kept on mentioning. I have never gotten those post-its (or anything from A&M for that matter), and I applied there.</p>
<p>This stuff doesnt really matter though. Its just marketing to get more kids to apply (except for the trips n stuff). Like, I got NOTHING from cornell at all, applied ed and now im ====> Cornell CoE '13.</p>
<p>Xavier sent me a window decal for my car and Robert Morris University sent a tshirt. Not really weird, but a nice thought. Still not applying to either of them though..</p>
<p>Some school in VA invited me to visit and gave me a voucher to have them reimburse travel costs. I had no desire to go there, so it didn't matter, but I found it really odd. And flattering.</p>
<p>some really strange like pharm school sent me a bottle of candy pills. with all their information about the college on the label. twas strange</p>
<p>no i didn't eat them.</p>
<p>i got the post-its from aggieland (whoop!) and many MANY catalogues oh and a SLINKY from OSU. very cool!</p>
<p>I got mails from US navy and the airforce
-> "Come to Annapolis etc..."
It cracked me up...
seriously, first of all, I'm not American; second, I'm not even American resident; lastly, I'm "asian" and a "girl" and definitely not good at sports or any other "physical" stuff lol</p>
