Curious about whether the milkbar cake is pre or post acceptance?

I assume post unless they just decided to never send me one. Not too upset, milkbar is the definition of cloying and saccharine.

Weil donated money on our behalf to a charity of our choice (Earthwatch, ACLU, etc.). Not sure for how much, but I actually appreciated the gesture - my apartment is pretty clogged with panic quarantine-bought trinkets as it is.

The milk bar cake was post-acceptance, I had offer but didn’t get any swag. Friend accepted at Milbank and got the cake very recently (though don’t know when they accepted).

When did you get it? Pre or post acceptance? I've only received a water bottle after accepting last week.

DPW killed it on bonuses this year, but is notoriously cheap on perks like that (caveat: that's only my perception from browsing older TLS threads, the $25 seamless cap may no longer be in place)

Lol - milk bar was part of the Cravath goodies this year too. It's the thought that counts, but I'd really rather have the value of these offer trinkets added to my summer comp :D

For those that didn’t receive their acceptance gift and accepted a while ago, would you email recruiting asking for it?
