<p>I'm wondering if everyone received a large envelope (10x12 or so) with a letter, bookmark and catalog thing inside from Occidental. It got here in the mail around a week ago.
I was a little disappointed, cause the package was large enough to look like an acceptance, haha</p>
<p>i haven't receive it :( actually i received that cuuuuuute postcard from them, the "it's here"... it's so nice from them to think about their maybe-future-to-be-students, they're the only ones who sent me anything! So what's the letter about anyways? does it say anything about acceptance -like you've passed the first part or they've just mailed that to keep you interested? .. god i wish i receive something :)))</p>
<p>It sounds like the viewbook they sent out when I requested information last September - an Occidental viewbook, a letter: "Greetings from Occidental..." and a bookmark with book picks from the admissions staff. Maybe they just added your name to the mailing list.</p>
<p>^Yep, you've described it perfectly.</p>
<p>i got it too! i was really excited because i thought it might be an acceptance and oxy is by far my first choice, but i guess we have to wait until the end of march.</p>
<p>Just so y'all know, when the acceptance envelope comes there will be no question as to what's inside. The outside says CONGRATULATIONS in HUGE letters, and it's all colorful and stuff.</p>
<p>ooooooh i want that pretty envelope! :)))</p>
<p>i really like about oxy that it's so, as you say, colorful! Most of the other schools don't care about the looks of their websites and their applications etc.. And that, well, sucks.. I like it when it's cheerful! And when they show that they actually think about students :)</p>
