Acceptance Mail/Package

Can’t speak to this year, but last year my child applied to Nobles and Rivers. He’s now at Nobles and they didn’t send a package (just a letter which came after M10). No notification from Rivers because they hand-delivered (within an hour of the decision posting) and left a nice video on our Ring cam since we weren’t home - super impressive!

Lawrenceville has been the only one for us so far that generated a message from the school - the others are in the shipping sites

Thank You! I’m trying to be positive and hoping that my lack of an account with these sites prior to these messages is the cause for this!

I’m not seeing reports of new notifications today. After notices reported yesterday from a handful of schools, I would have thought that they would be flowing in today for 2-day delivery over the weekend.

I wonder how many schools turn off the notices with FedEx. I read that’s possible, but not with UPS or USPS. That’s third-hand information though.

Interestingly, in addition to the Hotchkiss USPS one we now have a second new USPS mystery one - just shows as Lake County Press (which appears to do brand swag stuff) but doesn’t have an originating address associated.

I seem to remember from years past that one of the schools drop-shipped from their swag producer, but I can’t remember which one!

lol - at this point awaiting Choate, NMH, and Blair if that jogs your memory?

My guess is that Lake County Press isn’t sending anything on behalf of a prep school. There is no mention of the company in any prior CC threads.

Interesting - well, if I ever find out I’ll update you all :slight_smile:

If you look at their profile, it seems they could have been engaged to make something or mail something. One of their case studies is for a college, and they reference acceptance packages.

Now my curiosity is piqued as well!

Hey! I received this as well any idea what school, it is. I am thinking Hotchkiss.

We have one in our system originating from Lakeville - that is separate from the mystery one, and I presume from Hotchkiss…

That should be it. No other CT schools we applied to. Congrats!

If I remember correctly, we got something from this LCP mailing company last year from NMH. It was a cool paper craft with the school’s buildings around some promotional material – it was very on-brand and sweet. They also separately sent a very nice water bottle (after we scheduled a revisit day, I think).

Thanks! That’s very helpful!

I applied to Choate so I wasn’t completely sure!

That’s right. I meant Lakeville CT

Anyone else have a package from “Shippo” originating from Egg Harbor, NJ? We didn’t apply to a school near there but have no idea what it could be.
