<p>Do prep school acceptances typically come in large or small envelopes? Last year, my Exeter rejection letter came in a big envelope, but it also contained information on their summer program. Should I be happy if I get a small envelope? (Even though I'll open it a few seconds later.)</p>
<p>I would just look for a package with a lot of stuff in it. That probably means you got accepted, and has like your course book, stuff, all that crap.</p>
<p>If it has one sheet of paper, DONT COUNT ON IT</p>
<p>I doubt a small envelope will be an acceptance… Like clydoclyde says, look for a package with a lot of stuff in it!</p>
<p>If I were the admissions officers I would send everyone the same sized envelope on M10. For the lucky ones, the letter would inform them of an incoming “package” ;)</p>
<p>That would be worse…the let down would be crazy with that type of anticipation of same sized envelopes.</p>
<p>Fun story, 2 of my boarding school acceptances came in small envelopes. One school put confetti in it! It was fun to open. I thought I was rejected, but out flew bright pieces of confetti saying congrats. So don’t automatically think the worst.</p>
<p>3 of my college acceptance letters also came in small envelopes.</p>
<p>I don’t think you can tell from the size of the envelope!!</p>
<p>My question is, do the schools mail so that acceptances ARRIVE on the 10th, or only the ones without online notification?</p>
<p>It varies by school. I think I remember some acceptances arriving after March 10th last year.</p>
<p>If it arrives on the 10th by Fed ex, or UPS, or overnight mail, I’d bet it’s an acceptance, even if it’s a small envelope. Waitlists and rejection letters arrive by snail mail. To add to the fun, some acceptances arrive by snail mail too, if you live near the school.</p>
<p>I think they do try to get the acceptance decision to you on March 10, either online or by mail. And there are exceptions, but most likely acceptance = big envelope.</p>
<p>One of my acceptances came in a big envelope and the other came in a small envelope with yellow and purple star confetti, like smski’s, it was really cool
but these weren’t hades schools</p>
