<p>i don't have a letter yet...:( they're making me wait.</p>
<p>Ohio State was a large flimsy envelope saying I got admitted and that they will send me more information later, quite boring but two days later I got an invitation to fly out to OSU all-expenses paid, so I was pretty happy about that!
Michigan State was a folder with the words "You're a Spartan now!" on the fron and a cool little viewbook about the housing and your general letter which you receive and a few other sheets.
Still waiting on NYU and USC...</p>
<p>The best acceptance letter is one that is elegantly packaged, yet sufficently thin for you to doubt whether it is an acceptance or a rejection. You open and read the beautiful black letters "Congratulations" ... and your heart stops are you read the letter. Then it hits you and the rest is history :)</p>
<p>Same here, b.</p>
<p>Lucky you, Kj. You must've freaked and swooned.</p>
<p>I mean, for rejecting you. Real reasons. Unless you are really off, and have a GPA of 1.9 and apply to like Princeton and have 200 on your SAT's... cause that is off. But you know, they should say because your bla bla bla and your sat scores or your face or your personality or your jeans or something</p>
<p>cornell's rejection letter said that my academic and personal goals did not suit the school. or something like that. i threw it out out of spite! lol.</p>
<p>but it wasnt a bad rejection letter, it was actually quite comforting. it was just a complete surprise because someone from the admissions office told me i had a 25% chance of getting in and that if i didnt id prob be deferred. so, yeah. shocker! lol.</p>
<p>DS's deferral letter from UMich also said, if he didn't get in, he could always apply later as a transfer - I also found that presumptuous</p>
<p>i think when it comes to the elite schools, most of the people that are rejected aren't rejected because of this or that, but mostly because the schools just CAN'T accept everyone.</p>
<p>It is true, they cannot accept everyone, and we should be able to find our own barriers and limits, but still... I got accepted into Yale summer school last year, yet they gave me a partial scholarship, not the full one I needed. They had no reasons for it. AND college is even more different.</p>
<p>This is off the topic but what does 'DS or DD' mean?
I know D and S means daughter/son but what's the extra D for?</p>
<p>DS=Dear Son</p>
<p>rachel212, I got the same rejection letter from Cornell!!! I was in the middle of finishing a paper for history when I checked my decision online. I was so mad about my rejection that I didn't even put the bibliography of my paper in alphabetical order. Showed them.</p>
<p>I also got the rejection letter in the mail the next day. I read it every night before bed to remind me of how worthless I am.</p>
<p>that's horrible :(</p>
<p>it stung.</p>
<p>"I read it every night before bed to remind me of how worthless I am."</p>
<p>f*** cornell.</p>
<p>I dunno if this was posted b4 but, the college sends you a letter saying you get rejected! and then they say the classic geico line "the good news is, i just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to geico!" Damn it! i wish i was an adcom rite now!</p>
<p>They should send you a rejection letter one day and a letter the very next day that says "sorry, just ****ing with ya"</p>
<p>hahaha I still can't get over the McDonalds Application with the rejection letter. I love it.</p>
<p>hahaha logistics.</p>
<p>and yeah, f*** cornell.</p>
<p>hey where is the mcdonalds rejection letter i want to see it</p>
<p>I just bought a Donald Trump bobble head so a classic rejection letter would be a box with the rejection letter and then tell the student to press the button on their consolation prize wich is the Donald Trump bobble head. When the person presses the button Donald says "You're fired!" and then a recording of the admissions staff is heard laughing at your application.</p>
