<p>Duke’s acceptance is pretty cool. The first line says “Congratulations! Duke University is now your university.” It makes you feel all warm and fruzzy inside…</p>
<p>MIT 012 is a beast at college admissions.</p>
<p>Yeah, Cornell’s rejection was short, sweet, to the point. I almost wish I was applying to MIT for possibilities of that wondrous tube, but I would never get into MIT anyways hahah.</p>
<p>My friend who was recently accepted (I can’t recall the university) received her acceptance letter…in a box with a balloon. I’ve never heard of such a thing haha.</p>
<p>For Bama, there’s a knock at your bedroom window. When you open it, you find that the knocking is a parrot. If you are accepted, it whispers, “You’re In” and flies away. However, if you are rejected, it bites your ear.</p>
<p>I was in :D</p>
<p>I got deferred from Kenyon…but the letter was really nice. It pretty much said that they want me, but they need to know a little bit more about me first. Granted, I couldn’t read the whole thing until three days after I got it because I was so upset 
I kind of wish I had gotten a simple yes or no answer!</p>
<p>rsxwheeeeee – LOL!! oh damn, i was wondering why there was a parrot hanging around my window.</p>
<p>Swat is pretty cold too. Well, as soon as I saw regret on my letter… I did not even read the rest…</p>
<p>NU’s first line was the normal, “congratulations and welcome to the northwestern class of 2013!”</p>
<p>but it still gave the warm and fuzzy and very excited feeling. :)</p>
<p>The second paragraph was pretty tight, it talked about why NU wanted you.</p>
<p>Loyola University Chicago texted me my acceptance lol. Stony Brook’s is really secretive, you need to log in and check your application status, if the new student fold is there, then you’re in. If it’s not, then it probably means that they haven’t made a decision yet, you’re rejected, or you’re deferred.</p>
<p>I like UMich’s acceptance email, concise and to the point.
The first line is: Congratulations, you’re IN.</p>
<p>Felt so good!!</p>
<p>Wesleyan’s admissions letter has a little “Yes!” and “Welcome to Wes!” handwritten sideways on it by the Dean of Admissions. It felt really nice and personal.
In addition to all the usual “you are impressive” stuff, it said “we are confident that your academic and personal interests are particularly well-suited to our university”. This felt so nice – not only did they want me for my stats, but they felt like we were well-suited to each other 
They later say “we look forward to seeing what you will accomplish at Wesleyan and in the world beyond”. 
I almost cried when I read that part – like I had officially begun doing big, important things, not just messing around at my suburban HS.
There’s also a bumper sticker.
And it’s in a nice red folder.</p>
<p>If I ever wrote a college deferral letter, this would be it:</p>
<p>Dear So-and-So, </p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS!!! You haven’t been completely rejected from our top university yet! You have been deferred! That means you still have a very small chance of getting admitted in MID-APRIL! The reason is that you simply were not competitive enough. Bye!</p>
<p>Boston College’s was pretty standard I guess. I was pretty sure what the decision was when I saw the letter because it was huge lol. Then inside, my folder says “Welcome to the Honors Program at Boston College”. The folder is really nice, it has a ton of information about the school and the Honors Program :)</p>
<p>From one college I got a restraining order and a letter saying the campus guards were on the lookout for me.</p>
<p>Barnard’s acceptance was nice but pretty generic…but it came in a pretty folder and I was honestly so excited when I saw the big envelope (and especially once I saw the word congratulations) that I couldn’t have cared less what the letter said!</p>
<p>geek_son’s acceptance letter from Mudd was a typical Congratulations thing in the nice, gold-embossed, black folder (what was embossed on it was a chemical formula for mud). He carries that folder around with him all the time now, so obviously it made the desired impact. Two things I thought were especially nice about it – the handwritten greeting at the bottom, and the statement that the admission committee’s decision to admit him had been unanimous. Even if that’s true for every admit, it feels good to be told.</p>
<p>Stanford’s rejection letter has a typo. They needed to put a comma between two independent clauses in the last paragraph. I think I’m going to email them and point it out
… I spent hours and hours proofreading my essays, but they couldn’t even proofread their own rejection letter.</p>
<p>lol…go for it, Neal! And then tell us what they say!</p>
<p>bahaha i read all 62 pages today… talk about a good way to procrastinate!</p>
<p>I got deferred from the hartt school of music - it took them until the second paragraph, so I was starting to think they’d rejected me. At least it was short:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>could be worse, I guess.</p>
