<p>They really don't send out a packet? That kind of sucks but I would gladly acceptance at UCB over a package.</p>
<p>Did any of the dependent students receive Verification forms from Financial aid office???</p>
<p>When I spoke to someone in the admissions office, they told me they would send me an acceptance letter that would look exactly the same as the one on the myberkeleyappl. So I believe we would be getting packages</p>
<p>^ That's what I heard too...Berkeley is trying to minimize costs with the face of "environmental friendliness".</p>
<p>I should have kept my acceptance folder packet...I didn't know it would become a nostalgic relic.</p>
<p>IMO, Berkeley should send out formal acceptance packets...big events in peoples lives deserve formal communication...not some stupid screenshot.</p>
<p>veralyn, only part of your statement is correct. They do not send rejection letters through the mail... however they do send a hard copy of your acceptance through the mail about a week after its posted online. It will be in a blue folder in a yellow envelope...
If anyone ever watches the OC in that episode when Marrisa throws away her Berkeley acceptance letter... well that is exactly what it looks like.... I hated that episode btw.</p>

I hope you're right...Berkeley should.</p>
<p>LOL yes... well i made my UCLA screenshot my fb profile picture :)</p>
<p>How dare she throw away her acceptance letter. Does she know what I am going through to get one?</p>
<p>So, I'm sure it looks nothing like the envelope that Meadow Soprano opened. Since it was a plain envelope and it had a folded letter that congratulated her on her admission to Berkeley. (That was my most favored scene of the season).</p>
<p>haha, I just looked up the episode on youtube.....that's a pretty envelope :) I wanna get it too....!!!

<p>Too bad she ended up going to Columbia.</p>
<p>yeah, but I also don't know if that's their practice for sure. I know it's not THAT big of deal but I've started this little fat-UC-envelope collection haha (my apologies if that's a bit on the cocky side), if I get into cal, I want one from them too damn it! hahah... </p>
<p>on the upside, if I'm rejected, I won't have to be reminded of it twice (on the site and then in snail mail lol.</p>
<p>now that the final hour is upon us, so-to-speak... I can't help but think how it has really just been one heck of a ride this year. So much has changed. I stayed at my cc and re-applied after getting rejected from all five schools last year... that I still don't believe that my acceptances are real. </p>
<p>oooohhh berkeley, please don't break my heart and break my string of no rejections. <3</p>
<p>UCBChem....I saved mine from last year (call me sentimental) I wonder if my class was the last one to receive letters that are not screenshots?</p>
<p>My acceptance packet was a glossy blue/gold folder with Berkeley images on the cover...very classy. It included the acceptance letter, information on housing and CalSO, etc.</p>
<p>If Berkeley doesn't do this anymore, shame on 'em...oh, didn't you read the info on our website...give me a break...:rolleyes:</p>
<p>ucb/nyu..... lol, I cringe every time I see that part</p>
<p>ucbchem.... mine looked like that too. Maybe they'll at least put the screen shot in a glossy blue folder</p>
<p>ah!!! the system is being updated!!!</p>
