We have children at the Cathedral schools and I don’t think they give out swag on admission day. Maybe at the admitted receptions but not today.

Good luck to all!

What seems off is talk about multiple "packages." It could be OP is talking about multiple kids applying to the same school and being accepted.

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


My vote is that OP is very much aware of this and is either a liar or braggart.

Just saying so no one interprets the lack of swag as a bad sign. I have final kid applying this year and I would not expect to receive anything other than the email notification.



This exactly! My older DC received no swag from 4 high schools about 5 years ago. Did receive swag once decided on school and had paid deposit.


Same here. Last year, kid accepted at 4 schools discussed frequently on this board, and only received a package from 1 on decision day. Kid got some swag on the admit days they attended.

The bypass informed delivery email was surprising to us as well last year. We were out of town and use the informed delivery to ask a neighbor to pick things up!


Same thing happened to us too. Multiple packages, but none on informed delivery.
