My EDII admit son is grumbling because his acceptance envelope came in the mail today and it’s a regular folder with lots of paper, no box of swag, as he has seen other admits open in youtube clips. So, I’m guessing those are semt only to the December kids? Bummer.
Maybe it varies by region or some other criteria but my son was admitted ED1 and didn’t get a big box of swag either. Don’t remember exactly but think the scarf came a few weeks after the acceptance, a box with little goodies like pens came a few weeks later and a T-shirt came weeks after that.
the big box is for international kids so the admissions office doesn’t have to send a bunch of different packages in international shipping
the free stuff will come incrementally
it seemed to come incrementally last year, patience.
Thinking March or April last year. Can’t remember. And a friend with connections got us some additional coffee cups and so forth. Mixing up the boxes but one of them contained a ton of UChicago post-its. We are still using those babies!
My S got his piece meal too, the scarf first, then a few weeks later, a box for our ‘family to enjoy’ which included a cap, tshirt, pen, post-its, and a bumper sticker.
And enjoy them we did!
Great news, thanks everyone!
