<p>I heard that the envelopes are the same regardless you're accepted or rejected.</p>
<p>How about the paper color? Is there any difference?</p>
<p>I've already got 3 W/L so it's probably a good idea to get distracted and think about this weird stuff. Haha!</p>
<p>Last year the acceptance letter was fairly thin. From the outside, you cannot tell whether it is an acceptance. One clue for us last year was that the financial aid letter came separately the same day.</p>
<p>THIN! mine was 3 sheets. I almost started crying before I opened it because I was 100% sure it was a rejection haha</p>
<p>@Tanimal same here! I’ve also been waitlisted at 3 schools (WUSTL, GW, & Middlebury). I’m really nervous about my chances at Georgetown now, and the small-envelope-that-could-easily-be-any-decision thing is definitely going to freak me out!</p>
<p>Both come in a normal white business-size envelope. The only difference is that an acceptance contains three sheet of paper, and a rejection/waitlist only has one. (At least, I’m assuming a waitlist would only have one… A rejection would definitely only have one.) Good luck!</p>
<p>@emaytay213 I’M IN THE EXACT SAME BOAT!!! WUSTL, GWU, Middlebury, and BC! I’m freaking out… hopefully I’ll receive my Georgetown letter today? It’s good to know that the envelope is thin regardless, though.</p>
<p>@mustgotocollege I can’t believe we’re three for three at all the same schools! I’m freaking out, too! If I didn’t have a track meet this afternoon, I would be staring out the window looking for the mail truck for several hours haha. I’m so nervous about Georgetown now - it’s definitely my first choice!</p>
<p>^Guys do decisions really come out today? Like omg I thought it was Tuesday (caz last year it was the 29th?)</p>
<p>According to another thread they were mailed “by the 25th.” I am therefore assuming they were mailed Friday, in which case I am hoping to receive the letter Monday as I live in New York. Of course, CC threads are not always reliable so it is possible we’re wrong. I am trying not to get my hopes up, but I would prefer to anticipate the letter arriving rather than be completely surprised (I just don’t think I could handle the shock).</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m NJ I think mine will be here Monday as well. Also see this (everyone else): [District</a> of Columbia Mail - How Long Does it Take Receive Mail sent from District of Columbia - How many days for Post Office Mail](<a href=“http://www.fewtek.com/districtofcolumbia.htm]District”>District of Columbia Mail - How Long Does it Take Receive Mail sent from District of Columbia - How many days for Post Office Mail)</p>
<p>@CollegeGuru: it says 2-7 days for every freaking state…</p>
<p>Nothing in NY. EA took 2 days to arrive, so I’m thinking Monday. Then again, UDel took a week…</p>
<p>@mustgotocollege: woops 
I honestly just looked at NJ and posted it…well I guess their percent error is 0 with that kind of range lol</p>
<p>DC, MD, and VA comes out today. It’s 3 papers, 2 white, 1 grayish paper. If you feel how thick it is you should know but just from looking you won’t know. God I’m blessed! Goodluck to everyone, I got rejected from NYU and GW but I got accepted to UVA and Georgetown!</p>
<p>Waitlist is three pages too.</p>
<p>^ Ewwwww, why does the WL have to be three too? Grrrr, lol. I just wanna know so badly. It reminds of this thing I heard from a Gtown student when talking about the only Jesuit things remaining in the school (or something like that)…
Acceptance=Heaven
Rejection=Hell
Waitlist=Purgatory
:o</p>
<p>wait I thought the letter was supposed to be received on the 1st?</p>
<p>Hmm…I could kinda tell from the outside. The paper felt thicker than normal paper for some reason…</p>
<p>It was supposed to be received BY the first, not on. </p>
<p>It seems everyone within 2 hours of DC got their letters so the letters should be to everyone else by Monday or Tuesday. This is the first time I have ever cared that there was no mail on Sunday.</p>
<p>The EA acceptance letter came in a regular envelope and was thin. You would never imagine that it was an acceptance letter … But there was also a green sheet of paper in the envelope (with instructions for accepted students) and you could kind of see the outline of the green sheet when you held it up to the light. Good luck!</p>
