Boarding School Swag 2020

@southernfemmom Congratulations on Chatham Hall!! Woohoo!!!

@southernfemmom congrats on Chatham Hall!!!

After reading this thread I’m kinda worry because non of the 9 schools I applied to sent me anything :neutral: , even though i’m an international student so that’s maybe the reason.

Not surprising. In general, swag is only sent after acceptance. And anything sent to accepted international applicants is minimal (or non-existent) due to cost of shipping/duties.

@lulicardoso - please scroll above to see more comments on this, but I am here to reassure you!!! Many schools do not send materials out Fed/Ex or UPS. Some schools send out USPS without tracking. Some schools send nothing out until today or later, so you will FIRST get news via an email…

Some schools send via US Postal service and some will be sent out today or later so you will not get a notification until tomorrow or later on in the week.

Do not worry. Our year we had no UPS/FEDEX notifications and Kiddo hit the jackpot…I do know that you can see a video on Instagram of Deerfield mailing their packets.

The Cambridge School of Weston sent their’s USPS. The welcome package for the student included stickers and a list of (fun) things to do in an envelope signed by current students. Practical, and my kid liked the personal notes/greetings. :smile:

Her friend wants to steal the rainbow gryphon sticker. :smiley:

I just received an athletic shirt from Kent and a couple of stickers and magnets. Also, Exeter released a video of their admissions team assembling packets. The suspense is real!

Thank you so much!!!

My daughter got accepted to CSW too!!!

:smile: <3 :smile:

I was starting to think we were the only ones on CC who applied!

Yes, Andover gave a t-shirt, and a few little things at Re-visit day.

We got a magnetic bumper sticker from Milton. It looks cool. Awaiting other swag.

@stalecookies I enjoy seeing you post about CSW. It’s great to see a school name popping up that for some reason doesn’t a lot around here. :smile:

My packages from Hotchkiss and Mercersburg should be arriving tommorow! Does anyone know what kind of ‘swag’ those schools give out/ what packages usually contain?

Thanks.

Just got my Peddie package! The acceptance came with a book called “Gmorning, Gnight” by Lin Manuel Miranda, a sticker with their logo and two pieces of paper of congratulations!

Choate socks!

Lville: Pennant and personal hand written not from HOA
St George’s: T-shirt, SGS m&ms and note

I got a drawstring bag from Hotchkiss!

i finally got my Mercersburg package:
a banner, magnet, and a collection of adorable hand written notes from students and faculty.

Hkiss:
a LOT of paper, a window sticker, and a drawstring bag
