UMich/MSU acceptance letters?

Applying to College
1

So I am planning to apply to both UMich (dream school) and MSU (very good alternative), and since I’m applying to both for EA, I will get my decisions both by December 24th.

I want to open both letters ON Christmas morning, but I want to make sure I don’t figure out whether I am accepted or declined, before even opening the letters.

What I mean by this is that some universities will send a big packet if accepted, and just a regular letter if declined. Is this the same with both UMich and MSU? Or, will I just receive a regular letter even if accepted or denied to both universities?

Does anyone know???

Thanks!

I’m pretty sure you’ll get email notifications to log into a portal to discover your status. You might need to set up two screens.

Most schools do not send paper letters – certainly not to denied students who check their denials via the online portal.

For MSU, my D received an e-mail notification of her change in status. When you log in you get your decision. The envelope with the official letter and brochure came about 2 days later. With some other schools the envelopes themselves will say welcome so even if you don’t open the envelope you will know the answer. All though, I will say that the MSU envelope was a plain white envelope, nothing fancy.
