<p>I got accepted yesterday, but my friend still hasn't received his letter yet and he'd like to know what to expect when he sees his envelope.</p>
<p>Rejection letters come in a white envelope</p>
<p>short and to the point in a small. white business envelope!</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, it’s a white envelope. (Not 100% sure though). Why not be positive and expect the best instead 
?</p>
<p>It’s a white envelope.</p>
<p>If you applied to Honors, the acceptance letter comes in a white envelope too … no indication whatsoever of their decision. ಠ_ಠ</p>
<p>I have no idea.</p>
<p>Whoa if you applied to the Honors Program, the envelope is white?? That’s one way to mess with the applicant, wow hahaha.</p>
<p>sophaloph: The honors admissions decision is in a white envelope. I got the small purple “THE BIG ENVELOPE”, then a little over a month later a white, boring Honors envelope (I figured I was rejected early since I got it in January and didn’t want to be overly optimistic). Opened it and pretty much freaked out everyone in the house with my sudden outburst of “YESSSSS”.</p>
<p>was this last year? have there been any honors decisions thi year?</p>
<p>Sorry, should have made it more clear. That was two years ago, before the “everyone gets mail between March 15-30” system. I got my big envelope in December and my Honors envelope in January. </p>
<p>There has been no honors mail as we know of so far.</p>
<p>From last year, Honors decision mails came out a month after the general admission decisions.

On the site it says April 1-15… And yes, the UW Honors’ decisions come in a white envelope (no indication of acceptance/rejection)</p>
<p>Ohh that clears things up. I thought both decisions came in the same letter. Thanks!</p>
<p>I saw my first 3.9 gpa rejection today.
She told me she didn’t want to go to UW but didn’t know she half-assed her essay this bad.
At least she got accepted into Cornell.</p>
<p>so the reason she didn’t get in was her essay was poor?</p>
<p>Yes, essay was poor.</p>
<p>My friend had a 2200, 3.9 with a IB diploma after junior year and he was rejected because he just blabbed something random on the essays. They really do make a big difference.</p>
<p>Edit: a year ago, in state student, no hooks.</p>
<p>Alright because my 3.4 and 1920 is looking slim as it is haha.</p>
