<p>hey
for those who got accepted/rejected by yale, is it true that they give u a big one if you're accepted and a small one if your rejected? thnx a bunch</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s pretty much how it is for all colleges (at least all top colleges). But you figure out your decision online a few days before you get the actual letter in the mail, so you’ll already know what sized package you’ll receive before it arrives.</p>

3

<p>Yeah, it’s pretty big. You’ll know immediately.</p>

4

<p>Although, 9 times out of 10 you’ll know if you’re in out not before the mail arrives. Most admissions decisions are posted/sent out online.</p>

<p>(I say 9 times out of 10 because the Columbia decision wasn’t loading for me and the big package came from UPS(?) later that night)</p>

5

<p>Yes, but it doesn’t matter, because you’ll be able to check online long before the mail arrives.</p>

6

<p>that’s mad disappointing, i hate checking results of anything online</p>

7

<p>^well you don’t have to. i know some people that waited for the mail. they found out a day or two later.</p>

8

<p>^That would have driven me crazy if I had waited those extra couple of days.</p>

<p>Actually don’t ALWAYS be turned down by the small envelope: My Cornell and ND envelopes were both extremely with one page acceptance letters, followed by the big packet coming in about a month.</p>

<p>Yale’s acceptance letter comes in a big envelope (7" by 11" I’m guessing?).</p>

<p>I could wait, but god knows I won’t be able to!</p>

<p>I applied to 12 colleges and at least 4 (Swat, Wes, Cornell, and Fordham) came in tiny envelopes and were fairly thin. This was probably because I was told well before April 1rst though and they didn’t contain much more than, “you will be offered admission.” These 4 and the rest all sent bigger envelopes the first week of April though.</p>

<p>For Yale, especially if you live far from CT, I would definitely log on March 31rst to see if you’re accepted instead of waiting a few days for the mail to arrive. All of the ivies post at the same time. 5 PM I think</p>

<p>I agree with roneald. Some colleges will send you a small envelope just to inform you that you got in and then will send a bigger envelope later on.</p>

<p>Oh man. I’m so happy I’ve never been rejected from a college (yet).
I’m fine with a ****ty Florida college for now.
Good luck to the people still waiting for their Fall 2009 letters.</p>
