A portfolio, some stuff (bookmark, keychain), and a very well made booklet with school info. Do some schools send more stuff/ better stuff? Ive heard some say that Stanford sends out a shirt or something.

+1...I loved Duke's

Penn has a pretty sweet/extensive portfolio thing. =)

UVA gave me money. I was busy being distracted by the piece of paper to notice the whole package.

Michigan's was awesome! They give you a flash drive with a MichLaw video on it. Plus the clear portfolio you can put your future stuff in. I think i have gotten four or five mailings from them so far. Letter, scholly, portfolio, book with faculty, and a housing package. You really need that binder with all the stuff they send.

I am hoping my Penn portfolio comes tomorrow... I will let you all know if it compares to Michigan.

I second the Tulane nomination. The packaging was the bag for cryin out loud!
the scholly just made it shine some more.

Sounds a bit like Vanderbilt, in the sense that it was shipped in a priority box and included a giant student-created handbook, a nice folder with lot of pamphlets, letters, etc. I know they sent me a car decal too, but it might have been in a separate mailing.

the car decal was in the folder. twas nice

Cardozo's package came in a ziploc bag.

ASU's was by far the best i've received thus far. Oklahoma was the most personal (entire paragraph written by the Dean).

Harvard's was surprisingly underwhelming. They have a "green" electronic viewbook (yay environment).

Green is the new crimson.

Duke comes in first, with Columbia as a close second (the sent 2 envelopes after all...)

NYU definitely gets the weakest, maybe I'm missing something but aside from the cool purple envelope it was just a letter of admission, and a letter for enrolling.

Yale's acceptance package sounds insane.

NYU will be sending more soon

Wanted to find the right place to express my amazement with the GULC student ambassador package I received. So pretty I didn't want to unwrap it...

1. Columbia: vomit coloured envelope or not; the design details were aesthetically pleasing; the content, useful and numerous.
2. UVA: beautiful glossies and photography; assembled very nicely.
3 (tied). Penn: useful blue portfolio (although doesn't really hold up well after a few days)
3 (tied). Duke: same as Penn (material's more durable though.
5. Michigan: the transparent yellow folder was a nice touch; flash drive (though Illinois had the best looking drive; WUSTL, mediocre)
6. Minnesota: classy folder; wonderful colour scheme.

I'd like to contribute to this thread but I haven't been accepted into enough law schools to have a good base of comparison!

That said, the WUSTL folder was really nice. The flash disk was a nice touch.

Totally agree with this! It's in a legit case that's actually usable...for the people who actually end up there anyway.

Okay, Georgetown's recent mailing was excellent, but it was a package sent from Student Ambassadors. The Law Center's initial "postcard" acceptance from the Dean/Admissions Office was less than flattering as far as admissions package go, IMO.

Is this the leather thing people speak of? I haven't gotten one (hopefully my mail's just being slow as usual, but maybe they don't send internationally...)

Yes and good points...Northwestern sent a leather folio as well (though no the quality of the Georgetown ambassador package) but I would feel weird using either if I dont end up at GULC or NU next year

Cooley's auto-reply e-mail is pretty neat.

Plus, LSAC will follow up with a sympathy card and a shot glass.

They only sent me the binder. I feel unloved.

Does the Northwestern thinger say Northwestern Law, or just Northwestern? If I a) get one and b) don't attend NU Law, I have some friends who were NU undergrads who might want it.
