<p>When u get accepted can u immediately tell by the size of the envelope? is it fat? wat does the letter say?</p>
<p>You'll find out more quickly whether you got in if you check online.</p>
<p>To answer your question - acceptances come in a large 8 x 10 envelope. Rejections and deferrals in business size envelopes.</p>
<p>Does anyone know exactly when EA decisions come out? Is it December 15th? If you check online can you know earlier?</p>
<p>it is not unusual for online decisions to be released the evening before the 'official' date</p>
<p>nycdad is correct - last year the EA decisions were available on line on December 14th.</p>
<p>A little early to be worrying about envelope size, no? Focus on getting those applications done. And some colleges can send deceptive mid-sized envelopes. Just to mess with you. So does it really matter whether you know when you reach in your mailbox or 10 secs later when you tear it open?</p>
<p>thanks for your replies!</p>
<p>man, online acceptances just KILLS the experience if you can get only mail. I mean, my personal fantasy is to get into HYPS and only know the decision by mail, which i will then throw the letter in the air, and then rn around the block like crazy... guess temptation from the computer precludes this fantasy.</p>
<p>Is it weird that the phrase "fat envelope" makes me drool a little bit?</p>
<p>lol fat envelope and drool? hmm i think its wierd</p>
<p>But the idea is so tantalizing!</p>
<p>I know one college (I forget which one; I think it was a LAC) sends acceptances and rejections in the small envelope.</p>
<p>That's just cruel.</p>
<p>I love what Princeton did several years ago with their small-enveloped acceptance letter saying merely "YES!" in huge letters.</p>
<p>What a rush that probably gave those who were accepted.</p>
<p>Alright, I can see how that might work. I'm kind of hoping to find out online though. I don't want to faint in the middle of the street if/when I get my letter. :)</p>
<p>haha does yale say "YES" or does it have that boring trite letter</p>
<p>I dunno about this year, but I got a poster as the top thing in my envelope.</p>
<p>poster? wats that?</p>
<p>Ah my heart starts beating faster when I think about acceptance/rejection letters.....ahhh how many days left?</p>
