For most of the colleges I got into I simply received a regular mail envelope with a single letter inside, not the typical “fat 8 1/2 x 11 envelope” people picture. So don’t fret if you get one- most send the boarding and additional information later on 
Anyone else find this happening to them as well?

<p>Yeah- Georgetown's acceptances and rejections are practically the exact same size. Scary. :eek:</p>
<p>Well, UofMiami was a fairly thick package with a bunch of junk in it and UofSouthCarolina was REALLY thick. I did get a 8.5x11 thin envelope right before I got my UofSC acceptance and I was SURE I had been rejected... talk about scary! It sat unopened for about two minutes then I just couldn't hold out any longer.</p>
<p>i've always thought acceptance letters would come in small packeges (big things in little packages...haha) and rejections would come in larger enveloped b.c they wanted to give you info about the school so you could apply the next year. but then again, if they didnt want you the first time, why would they the second?</p>
<p>My ED Columbia acceptance came in a decent size UPS package. It had two magazines and a letter of acceptance in one folder and a finacial aid folder with estimates and a small book explaining stuff. I think the deferred/rejected people got a small letter in snail mail.</p>
<p>likey letters and early write letters come in thin envelopes (usually late feb through out march)</p>
<p>My ED Cornell acceptance was also in a regular-sized, very thin envelope. It had me worried for a minute...</p>
<p>University of Rochester has Accepted/Deferred/Rejected as the same 8.5X11" FedEx envelope... I thought that I was rejcted because the envelope was literally paper thin</p>
<p>Ithacas acceptance letter was one page, with a little post card thing that was triplicate to send back. It was very disappointing. I feel if the colleges are going to spend so much money sending out literature, they can at least make you feel excited about the acceptance.</p>
<p>i could care less- as long as im in im happy! ;)</p>
<p>Yes my Bard acceptance came in a thin, legal sized envelope. It was kind of funny, I was on the phone with a friend and my mom yelled, "Your Bard decision came! Its in a SMALL envelope!" and while i was trying to get off the phone i could hear her whispering to my dad and brother, "Its a small envelope, its no good, etc" so i was terrified, and opened it and saw, "Congratulations..." and I just said, "Oh. You were wrong!"</p>
<p>My brown letter was in a small envelope. I felt a little cheated. But not really!</p>
<p>Thin envelopes are probably just the first step.</p>
<p>Next they'll be starting off acceptance letters with "We're sorry..."</p>
<p>Ha, that would be awful... Imagine, "We're sorry to say, but you're accepted into the class of 200_. Our acceptance pool was really low this year. Hope you don't matriculate!" ha just kidding.</p>
