What did your acceptance letter look like?

OK, so it's a dumb title, but what I'm curious about is if most acceptance letters come in a standard sized envelope or in a package. I realize, of course, that each school will send out something different. I'm just trying to get an idea of what most schools do so that when I open my mailbox in a week and a half, I won't assume REJECTION if the envelope is standard size.

This waiting and waiting and waiting is making me obsess on silly things like this!

MWU sent it out in standard size envelopes

 

[RxINform]

they sent the initial announcement in an email which was then followed by a standard size letter a week later.

I've gotten a phone call, then a standard size letter for one school. And I've gotten just a standard size letter for another school. And also a package from a different school.

Some schools just send out emails with regards to rejections.

Keep your head up cuz people are sending their declines & withdrawals as they receive acceptances. Thus, more acceptance letters will probably be sent out too.

UH (Houston) sent an email followed by a standard sized envelope.
Texas Tech sent a standard sized envelope filled with confetti. Then they updated the status online.

Incidentally, I sent a different confetti back to Tech when I paid the acceptance guarantee fee !!!

^that's really cool. it sends a message to its future students that they are there for you and that you actually matter as an individual! (that's how i see it anyway)

Whoa, is that you Cheburashka? (As in, your bunny avatar is gone T.T )

Received an email followed by a standard envelope via snail mail.

I got a phone call, and then a package. The acceptance letter was printed on a nice, thick, textured paper. The rest of the package was printed on regular paper with color paper inserts, to dumb it down for us 😀

When I opened my envelope a white powder shot all over the place...Should I be concerned? haha Mine started out with "The Adcom is pleased to inform you..."

I believe my school (SIUE) is sending ALL letters out at once, rejections, acceptances, and waitlist. But I could be mistaken.

I love the letter with the confetti! It makes it seem like that would be a really fun school to attend.

When you all got your letter in the mail, were you afraid to open it??

LoL Sparda, I know who that is...

It's hard to properly convey sarcasm over the internet (not referring to your post).

Hehe, that's me. Hope everyone likes my new avatar.

By the way, I thought our offer to proofread my PS was sooooooooooooo sweet. 😍 Can I take you up on it, mid-summer perhaps ?

 

[ExpressMaiL]

Of course. Just message me when you're ready.

Angels popped out of my mailbox singing and carrying a thick packet with 'University of Minnesota' in the upper left hand corner.

It was a glorious day.

Email, followed by small envelope from Oregon State.

Mercer notifies by phone, but somehow "forgot" me. I got some email from them regarding a first year scholarship and that triggered me to call them to see if I was accepted.

Still waiting to hear from USC. I hear it's a yellow envelope if you're in, white if you are not.

 

[lessotto]

So here s what I got:
- a big yellow envelope with a big red folder w/school's name on it!!! Plus there was a "certificate of acceptance" along with an acceptance letter in there. And of course, there was a form I had to fill out and attach to my 500$ deposit.

On a side note, I freaking love getting letters/brochures/envelopes from USC. Everything is so nice, neat, color-coordinated, and printed on glossy paper!
Reminds me of opening any Apple product!
Anyways, good luck waiting for your letter!!!

The acceptance letter for UGA came in a standard size envelope.

 

[confettiflyer]

My two acceptances were in 8x11 sized envelopes, the moment i saw it...I knew I was in, kind of anticlimactic. My one rejection was in a standard #10 envelope, i knew what was coming.
