Anybody know of any snow/winter shoes for schools in places that snow?

Thanks for the commiseration, it really helped =) I too am hoping the people who were accepted (and went to admit day today and tomorrow!) love the school and the program as well!

Hi all, I've been lurking the forums but finally signed up today. I know that rejecting schools will be a popular topic this time of year and I probably haven't read back far enough to see the answer, but I'm in a bit of a quandary regarding rejecting my alma mater (I've seen topics about rejecting safety schools, but I guess in my mind this is a little different, so I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me for taking up bandwidth space). Basically one of my letter writers suggested that I apply to my alma mater as a safety school. A second letter writer wrote me that even though he wrote me a great letter for my alma mater, it would be better for me to go somewhere else if they funded me. I ended up applying to 4 schools, was rejected by 2 and accepted by good school and alma mater. When I told my rec writers, they were happy for me and all suggested I go to the school who funded me even though they would have enjoyed seeing me. No hard feelings on their part. My question is, what do you write to the rest of the department? My letter writers pretty much know I'm not going to attend in the fall(I have an admit weekend for non alma mater school and I am most likely going to sign the papers then to free up waitlist spots at my alma mater, but in case I hate the school I would still rather have some place to go *I'm a wuss*) but the DGS has been reaching out to me and I feel bad for applying even though if I did get a better offer I probably would not have attended (basically where I am now). What should I write in the rejection letter? I know most people thank the school for the opportunity, etc but is it really as simple as "Thank you guys for a great 4 years and for giving me some place to go in case everybody else rejected me, but I'm going to another school in the fall." I loved my alma mater and if everybody else had rejected me, would have gladly gone there, but would it sound condescending to thank them for helping me get where I am today and I hope to make them all proud, thanks for the memories? Sorry for rambling.. has anybody had to do this before? I would appreciate the advice and help!
