<p>GOt this email today from a parent of two alums</p>
<p>"...one other thought about the "big envelop vs. small envelop"...unless things have changed...all notices are small with the package to follow several days later"</p>
<p>My son was accepted last year. The acceptance package is a large, white envelope. There was no letter preceding it other than a notification that the application was complete and being reviewed. </p>
<p>Good luck everybody!</p>
<p>Agree with starfish!! Son accepted EA last year-notification happened the same way. However, did not receive envelope until the middle of the month!! I remember it was nerve-bending!!!! Hang in there everyone; things will work out!!</p>
<p>My son got a big white envelope. I'm not exactly sure what the date was, but remember a big brouhaha on the boards because everyone thought the letters were going out on a certain date, which turned out to be wrong. As for nerve-bendingness, it appears that my nerves are more bent than my daughter's are at this time. </p>
<p>A lot different than the pre-web days for sure. I sometimes wonder if the ready access to information and others in the same boat, while building a pretty cool nationwide support network, doesn't also serve to keep it on our minds more than it might be otherwise...</p>
<p>For those of us who applied regular decision, we have to wait until April with the same raw nerves! I don't know how I am going to get through the next 4 months. I never thought my nerves would be this shattered. My D doesn't think there is any chance she'll get in, so she's not even wasting her time thinking about it...sigh...</p>
<p>Your daughter is probably a lot better off than we are right now! If kids actually worried like we did, they'd be--well, middle aged women! :)</p>
<p>Starfish is correct. Big envelope.</p>
<p>hahaha...that made me laugh, DDJones! Thanks...</p>
<p>my acceptance last year was a large white envelope with the words "welcome home" and an obvious acceptance package visible through the window.</p>
