[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter received a postcard from a school after her interview. I’m not sure if this is standard and she received another postcard for Valentine’s Day.  Maybe they send them out to all applicants…[/quote]

If this was Sidwell, they send the postcard to everyone. And it's mass produced (made to look handwritten).[/quote]

Did Sidwell send postcards this year too for the lower school? We did not receive one.[/quote]

We received one for middle school. That's funny that it's mass produced-I was fooled! Are they all signed by the same kid? [/quote]

Each of our children received a mass produced note that was supposed to look like it was handwritten for high school admissions (one was a letter, one was a postcard).The thing that tipped us off the first time was that we had no idea who the kid was that wrote the letter. My DC had already written thank you notes to the people they had met with (teacher interviewer and student shadow host) and the letter-writer was neither. The postcard also came from someone my second DC had not met.  I wish I had saved the letter so I could see if that student was even a real person.  Our friends also received a fake handwritten letter from an unrecognized student - at least it was different from ours. They must have a batch that they print out to mail.

For the LS person(s) - I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get a postcard - this seems more like a middle and upper school procedure.

I find it really strange.[/quote]
