<p>Is it still true that when one receives his or her letter of admittance, it comes in a big envelope and if deferred, waitlisted, or rejected, it comes in a small envelope?</p>
<p>To the best of my knowledge yes. It was like that at least 5 years ago (man I am old).</p>
<p>You're getting me all excited again...</p>
<p>ahha yep</p>
<p>bigger is better in this situation</p>
<p>you can totally tell the difference--i was wait listed and then accepted so i know em both!</p>
<p>alright, sounds good! thanks! man, i'm so excited to find out!</p>
<p>Me too! How soon can we find out? Is it early Dec or mid Dec?
thanks</p>
<p>It was right around the 15th last year as I remember; big 8.5X11 envelope.</p>
<p>Yes! Last year it came in a big white envelope and arrived on Saturday, the 16th (in the Chicago area, that is). Lots of fun-a great moment! Good luck!</p>
<p>Do we have the current students lighting candles in the grotto for this year's EA group yet? I remember that last year, as such a wonderful statement to the "family" of Notre Dame... if not, let's get it going! I'll tell my daughter~she owes it to this years group!</p>
<p>You'll know it when you see it.</p>
<p>Of course, I also received a small white envelope a couple of days before my admittance letter came (RD). After I came out of my coma, I opened it to find a letter from financial aid requesting more forms. </p>
<p>So whatever you do, open whatever comes :)</p>
<p>Best of Luck to you--it is an exciting time!</p>
<p>Irish_hopeful, that is horrible!</p>
<p>Why would they do that???? that would have driven me insane</p>
<p>same thing happened to my friend irish hopeful, only he got a huge package titled "from the office of admissions at the university of nd" in the top corner. opened it up and it was a financial aid brochure. he got in a few days later though. maybe it's a sign lol.</p>
<p>true, they shouldnt care about financial aid if they are going to reject you</p>
<p>I was out for the AirForce game and lit a candle for the current applicants</p>
