<p>uga did that this year. sent out 100 false acceptances.</p>
<p>rejections in large envelopes would be hilarious</p>
<p>Because I knew that Carnegie Mellon's "fat envelope" was literally labeled "fat envelope," the thin envelope I got from them made me sad. However, my name/address was handwritten and I opened it, read like 3 sentences before it actually said anything good. It was actually my audition results (they were good!) so I stopped freaking out.</p>
<p>The rest of the letter said "Just because you had a good audition doesn't mean you'll get in!!!" for like 4 paragraphs.</p>
<p>Yes, no offense but you drama chicks are INSANE. I would've wrote a whole book on how just because you had a good audition it doesn't mean you'll get in. I wouldn't wanna be next some of these drama chicks I know if they ever got rejected from anything.</p>
<p>Note: Not all drama majors are insane; just most of you :)</p>
<p>haha, I auditioned for music composition</p>
<p>Eh. Caltech rejection was just the standard. But their envelope had their website address on it- WTH?</p>
<p>What if those rejections in fat envelopes had applications to McDonalds, Burger King, etc.</p>
<p>Pacific gives out a calendar from April - December that outlines all of the sports games and freshmen admit days and what not, along with a financial aid package...very generous. Much more impressed than my other ones...then again, those were UCs that get 30,000 applicants.</p>
<p>MIT has a nice rejection letter, but I'm glad I was accepted =D</p>
<p>sephiroth- way to rub it in</p>
<p>i got accepted to Lewis & Clark today... it was the pretty typical "fat" envelope. But it was cool because they included a nice certificate saying that i was a Dean's Scholar (and getting $8,000 a year!). They also made a "personal" website for acceptees (which isn't really personal, it just says your name on it). anyway it was more exciting then my state u's acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Minnesota (Twin Cities) sent me a LSA Class of 2010 T-shirt and a sophomore there gave me a personal phone call as well. I'm sincerely sorry that I won't be going there, since I've gotten into UCLA and Michigan. And I'm still waiting on Cal and Chicago.</p>
<p>If I get into all my RD schools (I'm currently 7 for 7) but not my ED choice (Northwestern), I'll be quite angry at NU.</p>
<p>Last year I was accepted to:
Boston University- Online post and then HUGE packet
Syracuse- Small envelope
University of Miami (FL)- Big envelope with sticker
Bates College- HUGE packet
Providence College- Standard white envelope
Northeastern- White envelope with CONGRATS written on it</p>
<p>/\ all were very nice</p>
<p>Waitlisted at:
Lehigh- Small envelope
Colgate- Small envelope</p>
<p>/\ these were SO nice I felt really comforted that they were trying to find space for me.</p>
<p>I am a junior although one of my friend who is a senior got a 3 page rejection letter from SUNY Albany. It was like we really loved you but the application was too late and blah blah. Lesson learned: when applying to a big state college get it in early since so many apply. But she got into Fordham with full a scholarship so she is happy.</p>
<p>Didn't mean to rub it in.......</p>
<p>Just saying the rejection letter was nice, but i was glad not to receive it.</p>
<p>MIT has a really nice waitlist letter, too. It makes you feel better and gives you some measure of hope, even when there is none.</p>
<p>MIT has great letters in general (I got an accept and am extremely happy). However, even the introduction on their decisions portal is touching. </p>
<p>Saying that no matter what the decision, you should take a moment alone to emotionally respond, and you deserve this opportunity.</p>
<p>I actually felt like MIT cared about every applicant, unlike a few other schools I applied to.</p>
<p>Nobody's said UNC-CH, I think, but it was big, with some of the letter showing through the plastic envelope, a nice letter, big map, guide to freshman O, immunization forms (?!) etc etc....then later on you get TONS of invitations to random events...but no free things....I did get a stuffed Ram at a scholarship event :-D</p>
<p>Looking at this thread just makes me want to get some letters...hopefully acceptance letters.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, me too! Only, I have two more years to wait... XD</p>
<p>The Macalester letter was pretty mean, didn't really say anything nice about me, just that they didn't want me at their school. Ouch...</p>
