i was just wondering if that is really how it goes… if you see a fat envelope is that generally good news? and a skinny one bad news?..
on a side note
does anyone know if NYU’s envelopes are fat? haha just wondering…
<p>In general, yes. </p>
<p>Some schools send acceptances in small envelopes.</p>
<p>Fat envelopes are always good...</p>
<p>Small ones are not always bad. Some schools send acceptances first in the form of just a letter, and then more information soon after (information that would be included in other schools' fat envelopes)</p>
<p>I got a small envelope and I was accepted to a school. they said stuff is coming later....</p>
<p>It doesn't have to be fat. It can just be big, as was the University of Michigan letter I got a couple of weeks ago. You can generally tell once you see it.</p>
<p>Open it even if it is small because you don't want to throw out the ones that say stuff is coming later or that tell you to go to a website. </p>
<p>But in general the fat envelope rule works.</p>
<p>My acceptance letter from UCLA was a small letter. It was from the HSSEAS (is that even right?) saying that I got in for EE. My official acceptance letter from the Office of Admissions was still a small letter. Now, my letter for Cal was a big envelope with a folder and a certificate. My letter from CMU was a fat envelope. In fact, the envelope said something like and here's what you've been waiting for.. THE FAT ENVELOPE. GA Tech, USC, UCSD, and some otheres were large envelopes too</p>
