does the admissions office take food?

many applicants in the past have sent in food as their $10 essays – my favorite from last year was a great cheesecake. I agree it is a good idea to include something written about the baked goods, because once the counselors get to reviewing your application the food will be long gone. (Often time the food is eaten by the student workers who help process the tons of mail received throughout the winter.)

Make sure when sending baked goods you send some form of certified mail where someone in the Admissions Office has to sign for it (FedEx, DHL, etc.). Otherwise it is considered bulk mail and it could sit for two/three weeks.

Happy baking…
