Packages? As in multiple schools or so much swag there were multiple packages?

Smells fishy

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

People are jealous because it’s the #1 school in Virginia

St. Andrew's personally delivered them or they came in the today's mail?

For SFS they have you pick up your swag in person after acceptance.


yep. my point was that they don't mail anything. entertainingly our "swag" was a pack of tissues, a mask and a pen.
I kind of appreciate them not wasting money on apparel that a kid (who doesn't matriculate) will never wear.
My son still has a shoebox of Potomac swag in his closet.


I was able to clean out some stuff offering it in my Buy Nothing group!

It doesn't make sense for the school to waste their time and money to send you swag if you're not serious or committed enough to pay the deposit.

So name the school Op.


They do though... in the past few years, we received packages from Bullis, Holton, Landon, and SAES on Friday or Saturday.

Was it with regular mail? Ours doesn't come until closer to 5 pm...



Yes, regular/USPS mail.

5 years ago, Sidwell sent a car magnet and small tote bag along with contract after we accepted. Nothing else.
