The “love” she got was being accepted to ED. I’m sure many RD applicants who are stewing and worrying would much rather be in her position and wouldn’t give a flip about outward signs of “love” from an admissions office they won’t ever deal with again after school starts.
Agree completely. I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect “the love.” When the RD students are squared away, then they’ll all get whatever mailings are necessary to register, plan move-in, fill out health forms, indicate dorm preferences, etc.
Agree with all, except i’m sorry to hear someone’s ED kid wasn’t included in Accepted Students Weekend. I was very glad S and other ED students were included with the RD students at his school; even if they didn’t need to woo the ED kids, it’s a first weekend of meeting, getting acquainted with the school, and perhaps bonding. I think it’s a shame to leave some of the students out.
Agree with garland.
My kid only did EA so maybe they felt that they were still woo’ing her but she got bunches of stuff from various places and she seemed genuinely excited about it.
Those ED schools dont show the “love” $$$$ in other ways too! Imagine having multiple schools having to compete $$$$$$$ 
Competing offers…
Something you don’t have yet always seems so much better than whatever it is that you do have. College acceptances work the same way.
@lostaccount ???
Agree with @garland My D was accepted ED and was very excited about going to accepted students day. She was fully committed to attending the school but she did meet up with people she “met” on the schools facebook group, she got to see the freshman dorms again before putting in her request for freshman housing, she got more comfortable on campus and we also hit up the bookstore.
I know it’s superficial and the important part is the acceptance, but we’re going through this a bit so I get it. One D got into her ED school and is thrilled, but hasn’t heard anything from the school since her decision letter in December. She’s gotten involved in a FB group on her own and is pretty chill about it, but still.
Other D got deferred by her ED reach school in December, applied to 13 more, and has had 5 offers come in so far. So far she’s gotten a keychain, a t-shirt, a bracelet charm, a virtual reality viewer, and award certificates. It’s fun! Some of the schools email every week or two to keep us pumped up and enthusiastic.
“It’s fun! Some of the schools email every week or two to keep us pumped up and enthusiastic”
You’re falling into their trap! 
Seriously though, with the money your ED daughter saved not applying to more schools, send score reports, etc. she can buy many little geegaws and tchotchkes for herself. Plus so much less stress and the money and time involved in accepted student visits.
It’s not personal. The colleges are simply saying “Why do I need the bait if I already have the fish”.
In due time!
Amen! Although I think that is more than offset by her sisters’ costs… and she’s not complaining at all, we’re just noticing the contrast. We did take a drive to her new school to buy a comfy sweatshirt, etc.
It’s actually a bit of a joke around here. My D is planning on creating a tongue-in-cheek photo album of all of the tchotchkes when all’s said and done. Nothing wrong with enjoying the process, as long as you recognize it for what it is.
