T-shirts! Posters! Nothing...?

Well as many of you know, admissions has been kind enough in the past to send some nice little gifts to their Early Decision admits. in the past few years, these presents ranged from an NU shirt to a poster of the rock. Well, i got a nice bumper sticker from my early action safety school in the mail today and was anxiously (albeit greedily) wondering if NU was going to spread some love too. Anybody know?

No, my ED acceptance packet came with no "prize" other then that lovely "Congradulations" letter and a few information packets. That was more then enough for me.

no, i heard back from both schools within a day of each other, so i couldn't really withdraw from my safety.

but extrasauce, i agree - the acceptance packet was a great prize in itself

The posters suck, you should hope you get the t-shirts that they gave only to rd kids last year.

All the ED folks are going to get t-shirts. You need to log in to the acceptance page where you originally looked at your application status. After you log in, down in the lower left is a box asking you to vote for your favorite one and to give your size. If you don't they will just send out the winner in a M for women and a L for men. It says March 14th is ED acceptance day. You have 12 days left to vote.

I like "decidED" the most, even though the color scheme for "Got N" is better
I'm also pretty excited about getting a MEAS shirt.
