I know right, can it please be 4pm already!

Just 3 more hours!

This thread is giving me major anxiety. We're at a PK-8 and a few years away from applying for high school. Thankfully I didn't know anything about swag bags or informed delivery when we applied to our current school.

Wow, times have changed. My sister and I attended two different girls' private schools in NYC. Neither of us got any swag or packages when we were accepted. Just a phone call to our family, followed up by letters.

Mail just came and nothing from Lowell. So kid is not in or mail in DC sucks. Or both?

Mail in DC does suck. Don't give up hope until 4.

Are you saying no swag = no offer for admission?

Field?

FWIW sometimes the USPS employee who delivers our regular mail is not the same employee who delivers our packages.

Is the swag always from USPS?

We got a swag bag from Green Acres this morning.

Congrats! Fab school. Awesome.

Today??? From where?

Does Burke send anything? Or just notify in Ravenna?
