<p>Are decisions sent regular, first-class mail or priority or ???</p>
<p>And can one tell by the envelope size if it’s a “yes” or “no”?</p>
<p>TIA!</p>
<p>If things are the same as in past years, acceptances are in large white envelopes since you will receive not just a letter but other info as well. Words on the envelop tell you that there is good news inside - don’t recall the exact words. My guess is that rejections and wait lists will be in regular sized envelopes. The decisions come via first class mail. </p>
<p>D got hers today- big, thick white envelope. No special words outside.</p>
<p>Was your daughter able to log on to the student portal before receiving the mail?</p>
<p>@broadwayorbust18 - do you mind saying where you live? Or at least indicating how far from DC you are? Thanks!</p>
<p>broadwayorbust lives in maryland </p>
<p>Was it priority?</p>
<p>no, regular mail.</p>
<p>i just received my letter acceptance today in a big white envelope with no words on outside! i live about 25 minutes from au</p>
<p>Does anyone know how long it would take for the letter to get to California? D: </p>
<p>Four to five maybe</p>
<p>Mine was a big white envelope, that said “Welcome to American University” on the lower right corner. </p>
