How do you prove you're a student for the EDU discount?
Probably a newb question but........
Im heading down to the nearest apple store (45 min away) next tuesday to pick up a macbook for college this fall. According to the website, I get the normal EDU discount, but I dont want to shop online and wait for it to come in the mail. I'd rather go down and pick it up myself.
Do I have to bring any paper work to confirm that I'm attending the certain school in the fall to get the discount?
OR
is the educational discount just an online store promotion?
Im totally confused.
thanks in advance.

(I could be wrong).
Mostly, they just want to see a student id...
I think teacher discounts are the same as student discounts; they're both just educational discounts.
Should I just pull out an acceptance letter at the check-out counter or what?
I want that $100 discount!!!!!

The thing about student ID's is that I dont have one yet. I'll be a freshman next year so all I have is an acceptance letter.

Order online and select the edu store. Select your school when it asks, and you're good to go.
By the way, I don't think you can get the student developer discount anymore.

which students, what about elementary and highschool??
Apple doesn't offer the discount to students except "higher Education" institutions. Once again, the online store doesn't ask to prove anything

The student developer membership still includes a one-time hardware discount. It is what sold me on ADC back in the day, and after I left Cal I've been a real member ever since.

The select membership is more expensive then the cost difference in hardware (especially wrt edu discounts)...
Yes, but the student developer membership is only $100.
I went into the local apple store on Monday to pick up a macbook. I wanted a RAM upgrade, so I had to order it in store. They wouldnt let me take one home. When I mentioned the EDU discount, they said "yea yea" and tried to side-step it. The Employee's pretended like I didnt say anything. I actually had to be pretty stern to get them to remember to give me the discount. I remember mentioning the discount 5 or 6 times before they remembered to do it. All I did was tell them my school and I got the $100 off of my computer. I didnt have to prove anything.
Maybe it's different at other stores....
