<p>Yeah, I know that with the internet, many students can instantly find out whether they've been accepted to Yale or not the moment the decisions are sent out. But I opt to wait for the snail mail and wonder if there is any difference between an acceptance letter or a rejection letter based on the envelope alone (specifically for Yale's Single Choice Early Action).</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>D's SCEA acceptance letter came in a large envelope, along with a poster and a Yale pennant.</p>
<p>how do you find out on line?</p>

<p>On decision day, usually around 5 PM eastern time, you can log on to your Eli account and if you're accepted you'll see Handsome Dan and hear music playing. :)</p>
<p>^ That's so cool!!! Ugh but I have to get accepted first :/</p>
<p>Ah man....the butterflies</p>
<p>Just thinking about this makes me feel like throwing up... AHH.</p>
<p>Thanks!

<p>maybe i will just click the link and close my eyes then..then if i hear music its great and if i don't..well it might be less devastating then reading it immediately haha</p>
<p>hmmm</p>
<p>i really just wish i could find out before 5 pm! 9am would be so much lovelier. West Coasters have it a bit better i guess.</p>
<p>if i could get accepted that would be the happiest moment of my life to date.</p>
<p>what happens if you're rejected? do you get a skinny envelope?</p>

<p>I am actually gonna do the exact same thing. Reading "Rejected" will not be fun, so I'll just turn up my speakers and if I hear music I'll go crazy. If not, I'll close the window and forget what was already expected.</p>
<p>My stomach feels so queasy. I've finished everything for Yale and I am so giddy!</p>
<p>And is Dec. 15th the date Yale sends out decisions online or the day they mail it out? When can we expect to get the snail mail version?</p>
<p>A month and a half...eek.</p>
