do any college acceptances NOT come in a fat envelope?

Applying to College
21

<p>MIT: Tube
Caltech: FedEx for merit scholarship awards (Fat for the EA)
Duke and Stanford: Thin envelopes for the Likely admits</p>

<p>:)</p>

22

<p>I always wondered on these UPS/FedEx schools,</p>

<p>What happens if you only submit a PO Box address? How would you get your acceptance?</p>

23

<p>Can we please not say the word fat. Some might find it very offensive, like my grandmother who is very large. Oversised would be a better word. Plus that word is smarter than fat because it has more letters. </p>

<p>THank You,

<p>My interviewer said Princeton's comes in a regular envelope.</p>

25

<p>We could always be hip and say "phat envelope."</p>

26

<p>I like "plus-sized" envelope.</p>

27

<p>mit's comes in a tube??</p>

<p>& i'd say don't throw at a letter just b/c it came in a small envelope. i heard a story about how a kid threw out his princeton b/c it was small & then several yrs later he found out he was actually accepted. =P</p>

28

<p>wow, that kid sounds.... intelligent.</p>

<p>Michigan's came in a large, folder-y type thing. I've since gotten a postcard and a letter as well. Sheesh! I feel bad for the treez....</p>

29

<p>University of Washington's is thin, yet it is a large envelope. And it says 'Congratulations' on the back, so that's a sure indicator of what's to come.</p>

30

<p>I don't know, it'd be sufficiently cruel to put "CONGRATULATIONS" on the envelope and then say on the letter, "CONGRATULATIONS, your application has been received."</p>

31

<p>My acceptance came in a smaller envelope than my rejection, haha.</p>

32

<p>or worse</p>

<p>"CONGRATULATIONS, The McDonald's Corporation is looking driven, hard-working candidates just like you! </p>

<p>We are too, just not you."</p>

33

<p>Would it include a prefilled out application to McDonalds to drive home the point?</p>

34

<p>I like that burger king is better than mcdonalds because mcdonalds is second teir because burger king has chicken fries and mcdonalds does not. also, the hamburgler is a better charachter that ronald mcdonald. this isbecause it is weird to see an old man like ronald be so friendly around kids. but a hamburgler is fine. i am sorry it is just the society we live in. this isnt the 80's anymore, we are in rough times. </p>

<p>What colleges/universities did everyone apply to?</p>

<p>Thank You,

35

<p>I almost died when I got a thin envelope from Georgetown...but then I opened it, and it had good news!</p>

36

<p>There's no way to know if the news is good or bad inside the thin envelope, so you just have to take a deep breath & read. On the other hand, thick envelopes, large manila envelopes, & fancy cardboard mailers are good news.</p>

37

<p>i got 1 sheet of paper from the university of louisville</p>

38

<p>UP comes in normal letter. 1 sheet of paper</p>

39

<p>Stanford's was thin, one page. Fat came later.</p>
