<p>It's almost the time when the letters are gonna come in I'm getting curios about what to expect in the mailbox. Obviously rejection letters will come in a thin envelope but do the schools usually mail acceptance letters in a thin envelope or typically a thick envelope? I know it's a stupid question, but if anybody knows I'd really appreciate it. The question is directed for people who have gotten letters from Andover, Exeter or St.Paul's.</p>
<p>Well, this is different because this is a college acceptance... But I got an acceptance letter in a REALLY thin envelope and thought I was gunna die... They tricked me... They noted at the bottom that other materials would arrive shortly... lol... THANK GOD! lol But yes, acceptances come in all shapes and sizes, so do rejections unfortuneatly... Good Luck!</p>
<p>I got my acceptance in a really thin envelope.</p>
<p>Two pieces of paper inside - the acceptance letter and the form to fill out and send back with the deposit. I've gotten many other thin envelopes since then with supplementary stuff.</p>
<p>yeah again same....</p>
<p>I got a thin envelope this weekend and I thought it was a rejection notice... my dad tried to chear me up by saying.."maybe they need some more info" but yeah I opened it up... and it was an accecptance notice from one of my top choice schools!! So yeah u never really know i guess... :)</p>
<p>Last year when I got the acceptance letters, they were really big packages with lots of papers inside...mmm while a rejection is a thin envelope with a yellow almost sad looking paper inside.</p>
<p>most of my acceptances have been in thin letters</p>
<p>it doesn't mean anything anymore</p>
<p>(only adds more to the suprise)</p>
<p>thanks. I guess I'll just be prepared for anything!</p>
<p>Some even say Congratulations on the outside!! So we parents don't have to hold the letter up to the light!! Many many letters are thin, and after you send in deposit, you get fat ones. I think this is good, because alot of paper can be wasted for kids who don't accept te school that as accepted them.</p>

<p>I was remembering the same thing! When Montclair State University sent my daughter's acceptance, with an envelope that said Congratulations on the outside, I was thrilled!!! I've never been able to figure out the holding it to the light trick!</p>
<p><em>laughs</em> I remember coming home to my mom, dad, uncle, and aunt surrounding my cousin's envelope and discussing on which angle to hold it up to the light. </p>
<p>My first acceptance came in early with one letter, and my second acceptance came in a big envelope with a medium-sized guide and a few papers. Nothing big. :( I expected to have stuff to spends hours over.</p>
<p>eh, it can vary. but usually the fat envelope = acceptance and thin envelope = waitlisted/rejected =[</p>
<p>and yeah, some of the letters already have some sort of congratulation on the front.</p>
<p>Some schools say that acceptances come in e-mail, and waitlist and rejections come in mail. That varies with other schools, right?</p>
<p>I recieved online acceptance a few days ago, and my mail came today. It was a large envelope, but it was thin. I think it is true that colleges, at least public colleges, don't want to waste money on all the traditional information students would get with an acceptance until they know if the student plans on enrolling. That's gotta be why all the UCs I've heard about say they'll send more information in mid-may...a couple weeks after you've sent in your SIR.</p>
