hi i am a bit late to the discussion but wondering if lawrenceville sends acceptance packages to all admitted students including international or only domestic? i just recently got accepted there but have not received anything in the mail from them — its been nearly a week since decisions came out. i received my deerfield and milton packages at the same time, around 3 days ago. so im a little concerned because i didnt get anything from lawrenceville…
oh and if it wasn’t clear i am an international student lol
I wouldn’t worry. My son received three acceptances but only one package. It’s expensive to ship internationally.
I’d love to know what was in the Deerfield box, if you care to share. There is one sitting on my kitchen counter and it won’t get opened for a while, as the kid is off in the wild. The curiosity is getting to me.

Of course!! I wish I could upload images, but I can’t seem to. It’s honestly really really cool. It has a board game concept, entitled “101 things to do before you graduate”. There’s a mini board game inside, and they also give you a die, you roll the die and go forward however many steps and whatever square it lands on gives you something to check off on essentially a Deerfield bucket list, e.g. cheer at Choate day or watch the sunset at Gordie’s overlook. Other than that it came with a lot of stuff. A felt banner(?) that says Deerfield, a notebook and pen, three really nice enamel pins, two stickers, and what was really cool was that the acceptance letter was printed on gold paper.

We just received my DD’s Lawrenceville box yesterday after receiving a shipment label notification on March 3rd, so 12 days later we received the box. Weird delay, but she was still excited to open it!

Thank you so much— that sounds rather fun! The kid will be chuffed to open it.
My son was accepted and we are international as well. We haven’t received a package, despite receiving the email with shipping label on 3rd March.
I hope they send them - it is a really nice touch to get the admitted students excited.
today my daughter recieved a hat from one of the admited schools and a congratulation welcome letter from a student. but , the admision package with the official letter has not arrived. my daughter already inquired about the admission package to her financial aid officer. hope she gets it soon!
Follow up, we are international as received our package from Lville today!
