<p>Haha, I just found the greatest acceptance letter ever. It's the 2000 Princeton acceptance letter: </p>

<p>Anyone know if this is the letter they still send out? What I'd do to see this in my mail...</p>

<p>mmmmm. I'd be worried if they send a big NO letter.</p>

<p>dear loser,</p>

<p>NO</p>

<p>byeee
signed, somebody obviously important</p>

3

<p>hahahaha</p>

<p>great letter</p>

4

<p>You don't get that anymore. Rapelye's acceptance letter is a lot more sedate but trust me, it won't feel any less good to get one :)</p>

5

<p>i prefer the big yes. so then when i even get a slight gist of the YES, i'll throw the letter in the air, scream at the top of my lungs, and run around the block like a mad man.</p>

<p>Yes, this is my HYPS dream.</p>

6

<p>Lol I thought that letter wasn't real. That is sooo weird and cool at the same time...lol especially from Princeton.</p>

7

<p>I like it when schools, such as Stanford, put "Congratulations!" on the OUTSIDE of the envelope. Not only is there no tension as you open it, but whoever gets home before you doesn't have to resist the temptation to open the letter.</p>

8

<p>I personally like opening the letters. Although it ruins the surprise knowing that the size of the package is an indicator of your decision most of the time.</p>

9

<p>Can't wait for decisions time ...</p>

10

<p>I want one of them! :)</p>

11

<p>thats freaking awesome, if its real!</p>

12

<p>if its real ...</p>

13

<p>its real. </p>

<p>id be interested in seeing a college that stuffs its rejection envelopes full of blank sheets of papers and blank brochures.</p>

<p>that would be amazingly evil.</p>

14

<p>or if they printed the rejection letter 10 times on extra large paper!!!</p>

15

<p>Haha, yes, although all this talk about rejection letters scares me.</p>

<p>Sigh...I spent nearly the entire day looking at almost the entire Undergrad Announcement (for maybe the...500th time?) and then the Student Guide (getting carried away, aren't I?). I think I'll be crushed...</p>

16

<p>What if they took the ten extra large paper, and wrote NO on like nine of them. Then the page at the bottom could have yes, just to check that the accepted student went through every sheet.</p>

<p>NO, you didn't get it</p>

<p>NO, we are sorry but there just aren't enough spaces</p>

<p>NO, what were you thinking applying to a school like Princeton</p>

<p>NO, I mean........</p>

<p>NO, why are you still reading?</p>

<p>NO, what part of NO do you not understand?</p>

<p>NO, get a life, and stop reading</p>

<p>NO, NO, NO</p>

<p>NO, did we mention NO?</p>

<p>YES!</p>

<p>you are in, please disregard the previous nine sheets, it was a test of endurance, and your commitment to the school. You are now a tiger, </p>

<p>Welcome to class of '10</p>

17

<p>Haha, hilarious.</p>

18

<p>I've heard so much about thin/thick envelopes that I'd play with that first, if I really felt sadistic.</p>

<p>I'd stuff a rejection envelope with coupons to make it really thick, and the acceptance letter with one sheet of paper with just:</p>

<p>"Dear Joe,
Congrats. You're in. Umm...that's about it for now. We'll send you the rest of the stuff in a week or so.</p>

<p>Enjoy life,
P'ton Admissions"</p>

19

<p>Hmmmmmmm....that reminds me of...........wait a minute..........the US HISTORY AP TEST GRADES!!!!!!!!!!!! </p>

<p>"Oops! We are running behind. We'll have your grades in an unspecified period of time. Enjoy your wretched anticipation.</p>

<p>Love,
The College Board"</p>

<p>Made me soooooo angry.</p>
