[quote=Anonymous]I think this is a nice idea but here's my limited experience. After group classes we're working we paid what I consider a (fair but) exorbitant fee ($250/hr) for SAT prep and some college essay/admissions help for DD. The hours really added up. On the eve of the SATs, her tutor sent DD a heart-felt email with words of encouragement and short reminders of strategies they had worked on. He encouraged her to send him a quick email just after the test was over to see how she felt about it. Anyway, I thought that was nice and just the right touch. If the essay/app tutor sent her a gift after acceptance, I'd find it a little off. And I don't know why. Maybe just unnecessary. But if you do send something, how about custom "good job" "congrats" "go Tigers" "look out Princeton" half dozen cookies? Come to think of it, I think the cookies could be cute! I'd send them right after the senior commits to the college. [/quote]
