<p>From what I remember from two years ago, the key is that acceptances were sent by Express mail, but it could have changed. I also remember people in Texas and nearby got them sooner than we did in NY.</p>
<p>Deceptive as in your acceptance comes in a regular envelope and then the package comes later. This is what I've heard though, so I could be wrong.</p>
<p>9 days.</p>
<p>I was in India so I got a FedEX with my acceptance letter.. they sent it 2 day priority or summat.</p>
<p>The letter is not deceptive in the least.</p>
<p>The acceptance folder is like a manila folder size... larger than a printer paper sheet. The rejection letter is a normal letter... 3 fold page I believe</p>
