We get it. It's not your cup of tea but some people's kids go there so enough already.

So true.
It makes me wonder what sort of parents are at the private schools who enjoy bashing others on an anonymous forum.

Last year GDS just emailed. They send a packet once you accept and give additional swag at school events.

Don’t assume the worst—the year my daughter got into Holton she didn’t get anything in the mail but a friend of hers did…

OP here. Definitely not a braggart but DS applied to several schools and received swag from a few. Calm yourself down.

Seems like the schools that are the hardest to get into are the ones that don't send swag until you accept.

+1 Mail is weird and unpredictable. I think most schools use USPS rather than courier or other reliable method of getting the packages to families at the same time so the stuff trickles out.

Oh no. We didn't get one. My son was really hoping to get in for 9th. The other schools we applied to cater to kids with mild learning disabilities, but he was really hoping to get into Flint Hill and their learning center for kids with mild learning disabilities.
