Admission letters--thin=rejection, thick=acceptance?

Hi,
Once the admission letters start coming in from colleges, didn’t know if that old belief were true: if you get a thin letter from the school it means rejection (makes sense that a rejection would be thin–what else is there to say, except ‘no, thank you’) and if you get a thick letter, it’s acceptance? (makes sense too—all the freshman forms, etc.).

Didn’t know if there were any exceptions? For instance, do some schools send out “thin–‘yes, you are in’” letters?
