Envelopes! Big vs Small

Ok not sure if this has been addressed in another thread. But would anyone be willing to share the size envelope they got when they recieved an acceptance letter. I know some schools send out a generic acceptance/rejection letter but then send a larger packet out later to the acceptees; while others either send out an email or large packet to the acceptees right away. Any comments?

For Iowa State, my initial acceptance letter was small, smaller then a regular letter, card sized. For Colorado State, the envelope was much larger and thicker, 9 x 11 sized.

On another note, when I received my interview invite from Texas A&M it was so thin that I thought it was a rejection letter.

LVT2DVM,
I was just asking around about UGA's envelope size today. What a coincidence! I think it makes me feel more nervous that I'll know immediately. I was planning on probably staring at the envelope for a while before getting the nerve up to open it. 😳

My Ohio State acceptance letter was in a small (standard business size) envelope. It was just a one page letter.

For previous years...

Rejection= 3x8 business-type thin envelope

Acceptance= 9x11?(unfolder piece of paper sized) thin envelope. They only send an initial acceptance letter to start. But I guess its unfolded so you can frame it or whatever. Other acceptance documents follow later.

Does the UGA letter go to the permanent or current address???

PS: Good Luck LVT2DVM and lenmaca...I'm rooting for my 2 SDN buddies!

I can't speak for the actual acceptance letter, but my alternate status letter was just a one page regular letter size (folded).

Western sends out the same size for both acceptance or rejection.... the acceptance I recieved last year had a gold seal type thing...not sure if the rejections also had this or what the alternate list was sent out.

Ah! You beat me to it! If I hadn't found out the day before that I'd been accepted I would have assumed that the Ohio letter was a rejection and probably would not have opened it for a few days. 🙄 Oh, and I probably also would have walked around moping and feeling sorry for myself for a while.

My acceptance letter this year was in the same size envelope as my rejection letter from last year.

Last year, acceptance letters were sent in standard business envelopes; I nearly had a nervous breakdown when I saw it sitting in the mailbox.

Florida's acceptance was a small envelope, but came certified. IIRC, rejections weren't certified (although there was some controversy about it?)

Kansas State acceptance was a big manila envelope.

Acceptance was a small envelope that wasn't even sealed shut. I was scared to open that one

 

[kekemapa04]

Last year the acceptance came in a brown manila envelope (the same kind my interview invite came in) and I know that waitlist notices came in small envelopes...not sure about rejections.

Tennessee = small envelope (no phone or email notification)
Ohio State = small envelope (but they notify you by phone or email first)
Auburn = don't remember (maybe Sofficat remembers 😉)

I liked my undergrad acceptance note. It said congratulations on the front. It would be great if some vet schools did the same 🙂.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You get to apply again next year!

...wait, what?

:cry:

That would be my luck.

Generally the letter itself will say Congratulations.... if you are accepted

and

Thank you for applying...if you are rejected

acceptance = small but fat envelope (there were several things in it). They generally do a phone call first though.

Yeah, the Missouri envelope was small, but kind of fat because it contains a couple of packets based on Code of Honor and Technical Information. I will wait just a little bit to send in the deposit check and the rest of the forms because I still want to hear back from Michigan St. and Tennessee, but getting into Missouri is a huge load of my shoulders.
