<p>Has anyone actually gotten an acceptance letter in the actual mail??
I got an email but I was hoping for one via snail mail 
Anyone gotten one??? </p>
<p>I got one @mjbaker</p>
<p>@mjbaker Yes, you’ll get an actual letter and then a nice certificate…and then, it would seem, something else from UA several times a week. Their postage bill must be huge! </p>
<p>I think think this is the first time I have ever posted on CC, but I have been lurking for a long time. I so appreciate all of the incredibly helpful information I have found here! DD would never have applied to Bama if it were not for CC, where I learned about the great merit scholarships at UA!</p>

Anything else you’d like to mention: Applying to UFE and/or CBHP - not sure yet. If those don’t work out she’ll try Emerging Scholars. She’d like to join a sorority too, but I am a little concerned about the time commitment of that plus one of these other programs (if she is accepted).</p>
<p>Congrats! Don’t over think it. My D is in a sorority and in the Emerging Scholars program. It’s all about time management…</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, @LucieTheLakie. I will definitely keep an open mind and I’ve decided to, for the most part, just not think about it anymore until I visit (hopefully in January/early Feb).</p>
<p>Yes, acceptance letter came in the mail.</p>
<p>D got a letter and certificate last week after applying in mid Oct. She’s OOS. She and DW are actually there today taking the tour and attending the presentations etc. So far she has been impressed. DW actually went there for a semester until the money ran out so she is loving the experience!</p>

<p>Any else you’d like to mention: Received the Presidential Scholarship (full tuition). Haven’t heard the best things about the school’s acceptance of diversity which makes me iffy to attend, but I’ve mostly heard that from the Greek side of life and I’m not sure if the general campus is as close minded - would love input on this.</p>
<p>@lizzer72 The problem was not with the campus or the students. The school found out that some Greek alums were a problem, so that issue has been resolved. The houses are now integrated.</p>
<p>The campus is not a problem at all.</p>
<p>Are you African American? </p>
<p>The new tabs opened up on Friday, so does this mean I was accepted? And how long will it take for me to get the email and letter regarding my admissions? </p>
<p>Yes, you have been accepted. Congrats. You should get two letters in the mail within a week or two. </p>

Anything else you’d like to mention: So excited for an out of CA school option that appears to exceed expectations. Dad went to USC and was a FIJI there, so DS wants to rush Phi Gamm, very different system than CA fraternities, any suggestions? Also wants to live in Ridgecrest…needs own room as he is not very neat 
Comes from a conservative family living in a liberal environment so he’s excited to see Alabama!</p>
<p>Check the threads for fraternity rush info, and please join us on Facebook: “The University of Alabama Parents” Congrats and Roll Tide!</p>
<p>Thank you @Southlander!</p>
