<p>Im a current highschool senior and my status got changed to Decision Reached on March 17. I was just wondering how long it would take to reach me! I live in Anaheim California.
Also do acceptance letters come in big packets and rejections come in small envelopes? :/</p>
<p>acceptances come in big packets, idk about rejections. good luck!</p>
<p>Mahmah in a 3/14/13 post provided us the text (shown below) from a Chapman U Admissions’ newsletter. Evidently it takes a week after a decision has been made before the large size envelope or regular size envelope is ready to be mailed. So I guess it takes about 10 days for you to actually receive the decision after it has been made. </p>

<p>Decision Notifications for Freshmen Applicants Are Hitting the Mail Friday</p>
<p>It’s an exciting and overwhelming time of year for a lot of students waiting to hear back about their admission decisions from universities and colleges worldwide. Here at Chapman, our counselors have been busy reading for the past six months, navigating their way through more than 12,300 applications from wonderful students like you. It is an exciting time for us as we think about the future of Chapman and the limitless potential of students who have applied this year.</p>
<p>We are wrapping up reading the rest of the applications we have received. For those of you in the Regular Decision applicant pool, admission decisions have started to go out in the mail. Please be patient with us as we are getting thousands of decisions out in the mail every day. When a decision has been made on your file, the decision status on your WebAdvisor account will most likely change to “Decision Reached.” The decision letter still has to print, be matched up with your file, signed, placed in an envelope, and THEN be prepared for pick up. PHEW! This whole process of the letter actually getting mailed can take up to a week before it is sent on its merry way to the Post Office. Finally, depending on where you live, the decision will usually arrive within a week of it actually leaving our office.</p>
<p>Official admission decisions cannot be revealed over the phone by our office. Official decisions can only come through the mail and are not valid if received by any source (including coaches, academic departments, emails, etc.) other than our office.</p>
<p>We are very sympathetic with how stressful this process is for students who anxiously await hearing back from schools to which they have applied. So try to relax, because the culmination of the past four years of hard work will end up paying off as you start the next chapter of your life.</p>
<p>If you have questions, please let us know. Until then, enjoy the rest of your senior year!</p>
<p>Go Class of 2017!</p>
