<p>I also got a note relating to my personal statement and my supplemental essay from the international director (Mr.Nacimiento).
It was a pleasant note :)</p>
<p>No note for my s but he was offered a President’s Scholar research scholarship…and, he got a scarf today! Hooray! He also had already informed them last week he was attending his ED school. I guess that info didn’t make it into the scarf computer file, or maybe they just wanted to be generous! Anyway, it’s a nice souvenir.</p>
<p>D got her scarf today! She thought it was cute! D was very touched by the personal note from her admin person after she was accepted. It was personal and flattering…hit just the right note with D. Then the scarf… I have to say Uchicago has great marketing for these kids!:)</p>
<p>DS did get a hand written note from his regional admissions person - but nothing personal in it. Then a scarf a few weeks later. Interesting how everyone is having a different experience.</p>
<p>Update: I received the scarf today! And I, too, received a highly personalized holiday card a couple of weeks ago.</p>
<p>… I also got a box full of other apparel: a hat, a pen, a sticker, a t-shirt, a calendar… Woo!</p>
<p>Got the box of goodies. It may be marketing or strategy for yield, but it’s a very fun way of honoring the kids that have worked so hard during this process and may end up “Where fun dies” :)</p>
<p>where do you guys all live?</p>
<p>YES. Last week, I received a scarf (although I live in FL, so prob not too useful but still adorable), a box of goodies and other apparel, and a personal holiday/New Year’s card, handwritten with personal comments about my app/essays. Made my week :)</p>
<p>I got the box of stuff, t-shirt, hat, pen and calendar. What’s this scarf you’re talking about? Maybe it’s because I live in CA, that I’m not getting it D: It’s mighty cold here too you know, somewhere in the 50’s and RAINING O.O lol.</p>
