Today or last year?

Just saw this thread in Recent Topics (no dog in this fight), but the title is custom made to stress out all the parents waiting for admission results. Obviously it's a troll.

I am in Baltimore. On our acceptance day, some schools my DC got accepted in to left swag bags on my house doorstep. I was at work watching them on the RING camera drop off. I did not expect it. It started around 12pm and ended around 3pm. Received calls from accepted schools Thursday and acceptance letters some with more swag arrived in the mail Friday and Saturday.

Which Baltimore schools?

Mail just came. Nothing from any school DC applied to (Burke, Maret, Sidwell, GDS).

Sidwell never sent anything 2 years ago (before, during or after acceptance day)

Name the school(s) or it didn’t happen. Parents are extremely stressed and this is not helpful.

When DC went through this process a few years ago, someone actually dropped off a package on our doorstep. So it does happen.

Maret stuff arrived at least one day later. It was postmarked on decision day.

For SFS they have you pick up your swag in person after acceptance.

yep. my point was that they don't mail anything. entertainingly our "swag" was a pack of tissues, a mask and a pen.
I kind of appreciate them not wasting money on apparel that a kid (who doesn't matriculate) will never wear.
My son still has a shoebox of Potomac swag in his closet.

Holton’s acceptance package/box just arrived! It says “Welcome to the Panther Pack.” I’ll let my daughter open the box when she returns home from school.
