I got my packet today in the mail

<p>Yay.
=)
10 char</p>

<p>i got mine yesterday. it's pretty plain, kinda disappointing.</p>

<p>^ i got mine yesterday also and i agree with what u said</p>

<p>Got it today.. nothing special. Are they supposed to include the fin. aid package? Or we are just supposed to use the one they give online?</p>

<p>I didn't get anything fin. aid related.</p>

<p>^^ u're just supposed to keep track of when they update ur online one</p>

<p>I received mine today as well. It was rather plain, but I did like that it said "this is the BIG envelope you've been waiting for!"</p>

<p>yeah the only good part of the package was the envelope.. elohel</p>

<p>"I received mine today as well. It was rather plain, but I did like that it said "this is the BIG envelope you've been waiting for!""</p>

<p>Mine from last year said "Congrats! It's the BIG envelope!" which I thought was pretty funny</p>

<p>i think its funny that they included visiting Mexico in their list of things to do, must not have been updated recently.</p>

<p>it was a small packet....</p>

<p>i was sad.</p>

<p>All of the packets I received so far were small. Santa Cruz's was the biggest.</p>

<p>So far I only got an acceptance packet to UC Davis, which was pretty much just the online letter printed out, along with a short guide...</p>

<p>I guess since I'm somewhat far from SD, I'll (hopefully) get it on Monday. But by the look of things, it's as disappointing as UC Davis's.</p>

<p>Yeah, they were all pretty disappointing. My friend got the Regents/CHP packet from Irvine, which was beautiful. Came with a certificate in a folder and everything. Didnt think the regular acceptance packets would be so dull.</p>

<p>I like how the envelopes all say "CONGRATS" or "YOU'RE IN." Assuming you didnt check online, then that's a sure way to ruin the surprise xD</p>

<p>I got mine Saturday and I thought the whole... CONGRATS! IT'S THE BIG ENVELOPE thing was pretty funny.</p>

<p>I thought the "BIG ENVELOPE!!!" thing was funny too. But there was nothing special in the envelope itself haha.</p>

<p>If you want the big fancy packet with the certificate, then pay another $25000 a year in tuition and get a nice big one like USC's.</p>

<p>tptshorty is right, but a little off. It is more like pay $100,000 extra over four years for a nice big envelope from usc that you get once. Not what you would call a bargain per se.</p>

<p>Same here, not loaded with stuff. But nice to get the official letter.</p>

<p>Well you could always pay 45 to apply, get accepted, get the pretty packet, then turn the offer down :)</p>
