Best/Worst Admission/Rejection Letters

<p>i heard for MIT you get a tube if yoiu're accepted</p>

<p>Yeah apparently it comes in a tube with a poster.</p>

<p>now that's a bit anticlimactic...you see the tube on your desk, and it's like, "oh."</p>

<p>I still think t-shirts are the best :D</p>

<p>EMU's acceptance letter isn't all too great. It's like, one peice of paper that comes in a thin envelope, so when you get it, you're like, WHAT?! I got rejected from EASTERN?! and then you open it and you're like... oh. heh.</p>

<p>If i get a letter saying "YES", I would run around screaming "YES" all day.</p>

<p>VCU has "Good News!" on the front: I was so souped. :)</p>

<p>A lot of money from UHart and Honors College admission didn't hurt either. </p>

<p>To the people already accepted to Rutgers: when exactly did you apply?</p>

<p>LOL woulda been funnier if it was:</p>

<p>GOOD NEWS! We aren't rejecting you entirely! Just deferral!</p>

<p>HAHAHA</p>

<p>sweetsaz... i got that VCU letter as well haha</p>

<p>It took the surprise of opening up the envelope out of the whole process though haha.</p>

<p>oh well.</p>

<p>I expect my MIT rejection to be just a simple casette tape that says " PLAY" I pop it in the tape deck and its hysterical laughter and excerpts from my essays and scores....</p>

<p>Then it climaxes with a "use it to line rejection bin."</p>

<p>Then there is that uncomfortable wind down from hysterical laughter and they forget to stop recording....The next 5 are admits</p>

<p>Yeah, I think i would actually enjoy that more than.......The "you are an excellent student but you suck and your a fool for wasting your $65 to apply, we really should have used your app to line the rejection bin" sort of letter.</p>

<p>:) I'll know in a few days....If the tape comes I'll be sure to post a transcript.</p>

<p>Rose-Hulman's Acceptance was terrible. I seriously thought it was another letter letting me know they were looking everything over again, but it was an acceptance letter folded 3 times over in a normal-sized envelope. What a terrible first acceptance. hah.</p>

<p>the first few words of the Vassar acceptance letter are:
Dear so-and-so,
You're in!</p>

<p>They sure cut right to the chase.</p>

<p>hahah unusualsock I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm expecting a postcard that says "sorry for the postcard, but we didn't want to waste the extra postage and paper on you. We burned your essays along with the rest of your cruddy app to heat up the admissions office."</p>

<p>University of South Carolina sent a very nice letter in a packet to DD. BUT they also had a current student call to congratulate her on her acceptance. She has also received a postcard from the dean congratulating her on her acceptance, and yesterday got a holiday greeting card from someone else also congratulating her and wishing her a happy holiday. We have friends who said their daughter got more welcoming (and very nice mail) from South Carolina than any other school. I have to say...for a large state school, they win the prize so far. I will say DS's acceptance from BU was pretty nicely done...red folder with letters on one side (acceptance and merit scholarship info) and forms to return and info on the other side.</p>

<p>I would love it if one of the artsy fartsy hippyish schools sent out rejections with candy. Like, "Sorry we couldn't take you, but here's some candy to make you feel better!" That would be cute.</p>

<p>or a bong instead of the candy...lol</p>

<p>Nevada's acceptance letter was pretty boring. At first I thought it was just another piece of junk mail but inside was 2 pieces of paper, one was the actual acceptance, and the other was the scholarship offer.</p>

<p>I just got accepted into Rutgers yesterday online</p>

<p>I cant wait for the letter to come now</p>

<p>UIUC was also pretty borrrring.. even tho i found out originally online..</p>

<p>it was justa big envelope with some papers.. meh.</p>

<p>My worst was Michigan Tech. I think the acceptance letter must have gotten lost in the mail because i got the please select your housing packet nearly a week before the acceptance letter...I had to assume I was accepted if they were telling me to pick my housing options.</p>

<p>The combination of 20 some feet of snow a year and the fact Tech was a FREE online app. in hopes of scholarship money all total to mean that i will definately not be going. The acceptance screw up kind of put the nail in the coffin.</p>

<p>But hey i got a sticker out of the deal :) Total cost $ .37 and a phone call I didnt get no sticker from MSU...</p>

<p>i think swarthmore's acceptance was the best - a skinny envelope that said "this is the fat envelope!" on the outside. eugene lang's was also good, with a big button that said "YES!" on it. and simmons included a personal note, and also a huge scholarship, so that was happy.
nyu's waitlist letter was snotty.</p>

<p>I see the words michigan tech, free app, and sticker...
Excuse me, I need to look into applying to michigan tech now.</p>

<p>Unless anyone got free stuff from MSU, I'm not spending 35 $$ on somewhere I'm not gonna go. Nope, there must be some kind of incentive in order for me to apply ANYWHERE.</p>
