<p>the Lafayette acceptance letter was extremely personal. there was an entire paragraph devoted to my essay and a sentence hoping that i will continue my named ECs at Lafayette.</p>
<p>You know, the only thing that bugs me is, as small as Tufts is, their letter for ED I was generic and only just that, a letter in a thin envelope, oh well…</p>
<p>Good:
Lehigh’s acceptance package made me laugh. It was so typical for a school like that… it was a brown folder (school color) with a white band around it that said “Congratulations!” and the inside was so organized. There were sections with dividers with tabs and the letter was in a pocket in the front and your financial aid was in a pocket in the back.</p>
<p>Bad:
Syracuse sent me my rejection letter online. If the rejection wasn’t bad enough, they made sure to make it really drawn-out. There was a mix-up with the first link they sent out. It asked for a username and password (that I didn’t have), so I spend and hour going crazy trying to figure out some sort of combination of my name, birthday, and social security number. They finally sent me a working link two days later.</p>
<p>Ithaca’s acceptance letter sucked. It was in a thin envelope. I didn’t want to go there anyway.</p>
<p>Accepted by Lehigh and rejected by Syracuse? Weird…</p>
<p>Yeh, I know, that’s what I thought. Lehigh even gave me a scholarship.</p>
<p>But it doesn’t matter cause I’m going to Boston University.</p>
<p>my letter of acceptace to FAU kinda scare me because it started off as “I congratulate you …” instead of “Congratulations”</p>
<p>It went on to say “I congratulate you on your academic acheivement”, then thats when I thought a “but” was gonna come. Fortunately it didnt.</p>
<p>This is what i thought iwas gonna say, “I congratulate you on your academic acheivement, but I am sorry to say that we cannot offer you admission to our U, blah blah blah”</p>
<p>It took U of Miami to the second paragraph to just say “No”.</p>
<p>Even though I already knew it was a rejection becuase of the people who got accepted on this board(and probably wont attend, damn u!)</p>
<p>But it’s all good.</p>
<p>MIT’s EA admits got an awesome package - a 3"x20" tube, complete with a poster and confetti. The only problem? Too big for the mailbox, I had to go pick it up from the post office. ^_^</p>
<p>Yeah Barnard’s rejection was really really cold. Brandeis acceptance was nice, but generic and i never got around to reading UMDs letter after I’d already found out online I was in to Honors.</p>
<p>“Savor it” (or something) IRT being accepted was a line in SCU’s acceptance. It added a nice touch.</p>
<p>Oh and for those of you who care, Brandeis was a big blue envelope with Congratulations written on the outside, and a whole organized folder inside.</p>
<p>The UCSD acceptance letter was pretty bad. There was no folder and the letter basically stated that everything would be handled by the “myapplication.ucsd.edu” website. Not to mention that it was really, really late. On the other end of the scale, Carleton’s acceptance packet was blue, organized, and awesome.</p>
<p>Whoever that was asking about Pomona and Claremont schools…Pomona’s acceptance (EDII) comes in a big envelope and starts with “Warmest Congratulations” and that’s underlined in pen and actually signed by the dean of admissions. They send you a window decal when they get your deposit. And like a magazine and a calendar or something…</p>
<p>What! Why would Syracuse reject you if you were able to get into Lehigh? Did you have any family that went to Lehigh?</p>
<h2>Johns Hopkins’ rejection letter is cold. basically it’s saying it looked over my application and didn’t think i was good enough. very impersonal too</h2>

<p>That was a little mean. It sounds like an excting acceptance package is comming in the first paragraph but then they crush you in the second paragraph.</p>
<p>The JHU acceptance is a little nicer - they’re nice enough to give you the subject heading of “Congratulations from Johns Hopkins University!”, even if they ended up sending me TWO emails?</p>

<p>I got a personal message from Washington and Jefferson and BC sent a nice red folder and everything for their acceptance. But Penn just sent a letter and a thing saying to pay the deposit and handle finaid stuff. And that was it. They completely forgot about us and we get nothing until the beginning of April…3 months after acceptance. It’s slightly boring.</p>
<p>I liked the JHU waitlist e-mail. It made me feel like I was special and a good canidate, not like a loser :)</p>
<p>That was a horrible first paragraph, infamy. :(</p>
<p>Have you read any waitlisted letters? Good enough not to be rejected completely, but not good enough to be offered admission. Why don’t you just shoot me in the foot?</p>
