OP was bitter that her super smart kid didn't get merit aid but UMD dared to send her a yard sign. I think she was just pissed for no reason.

OP is finding it pushy, premature, and a waste of money. It may be those things and/because it’s a marketing gimmick.

OP, congratulations on the good OOS package. May I ask which school gives merit aid leading to turning down UMD Honors?

I found it obnoxious too. I have twins and we got two giant boxes. Just wasteful and went straight to the garage. We debated changing #nowaterp to #noTaterp

Don't teach pettiness to your kids.

Geez relax. I’m just kidding. They went into the trash/recycling. The waste made me sad.

My daughter was mortified by the sign. She said no way in Hades could we put it up even though she’s attending this fall.

Bizarre.

yes we got it too. going to keep it in Garage for few days a DS going UVA.

"I am confused why this is bizarre. It's there for your senior to put up if and when they make the decision. How did your kid get into an honors college without the reasoning skills to be able to sit you down and explain this?"

Please. Leave the poor senior out of it. It's not their fault.

Is this really OP, or a guess? I've never heard Pitt described as an OOS flagship.
