<p>No no, this thread is not about a difference of 2 inches, but instead about the difference in size of acceptence/rejection letters. Is this a stereotype or is it true? If so, what are the rough sizes of both types? Thanks.</p>
<p>catchy title... lol i dont think it does.</p>
<p>all you people who worry about the size of your pending college letters really annoy me - im gonna say it straight out. stop worrying about the size of college letters and freaking out over nonissues. freaking out about your parents getting divorced or a sick sibling/relative or even grades is ok - freaking out over the size of an envelope is just plain dumb</p>
<p>(you arent freaking out superior child, but a lot of people are on this topic)</p>
<p>yeah....and I thought you were going to check out your admissions decisions online early???</p>
<p>Haha...okay I have a nasty mind.</p>
<p>Well, I guess technically a bigger envelope might include more information on the school if they've accepted you or something (like procedures and forms to turn in), but no means should a person freak out. I mean, you're going to open the envelope seconds later anyway to read the letter...why jump to conclusions?</p>
<p>I ended up deciding not to J.</p>
<p>Yeah, I just wanted to know for a heads up, I know of some people who say both so I just wanted to see what everyone's impression was (in order for everyone to come to this thread I needed to think up a catchy title; it's amazing how many posts come up so quick with a title like this).</p>
<p>X- thanks for realizing that I am not freaking out about this. I have experienced everything that you said was worth freaking out over, minus the grades:-P, so you eventually learn what's important and what is not.</p>
<p>Of course it does! Just try getting a girl to go out with you if you tell her that you have a small envelope...</p>
<p>Superior Child, btw, Exeter sends in small envelopes. Now lets get the context of ENVELOPE CORRECT.</p>
<p>That's nice to know... do they send the information seperately? I heard some schools do that.</p>
<p>Hey, you never know Juzam! It just might happen. Maybe you could tell us from experience?? jp</p>
<p>A big envelope is almost always a good sign.</p>
<p>But a small envelope isn't always a bad sign, I got my acceptances in small envelopes.</p>
<p>A big envelope could be a mail bomb.</p>
<p>I have not read the original post, but the answer is: Yes.</p>
<p>I was always afraid of looking in the mail when I was little because of mail bombs..</p>
<p>this issue has been discussed a billion times. if you want to start a topic, find something else.</p>
<p>"Exeter sends in small envelopes."</p>
<p>When my son received his denial letter from Exeter, it was in a small envelope. The next year when he received the acceptance letter from PEA, it was in a large envelope.</p>
<p>this thread could have been a lot more interesting if it's talking about . you know what .</p>
<p>cuz it's totally a damb thing to worry about.
i got my acceptance letter, which even included a scholarship notification, in a small and thin envelope.</p>
<p>duh -0-</p>
<p>I agree thAT this is basically pointless, butI was just curious as to other people's experiences. There are probably dozens of other threads that discuss the same thing but eventually trail of into another topic. I was also ccurious as to the reasons some schools send the letter large and others small; why is this?</p>
<p>incorrect ";", sorry</p>
<p>Because some schools try to do more convincing with big books, posters, and such while other schools figure they've convinced you enough to apply, all they can do is wait for you to make your choice.</p>
<p>bigger IS better ;)</p>
<p>I second that bigger is better. Of course, it also is important how it is used.</p>
<p>I'm completely talking about how they use the envelopes to put letters in...</p>
