I s this myth true about college acceptance & denial letters…?
I heard this myth and I want to know its true or not. If you apply to a college and your waiting on your acceptance letter do you recieve a small letter or a larger letter That has enrollment information. my friends say when you recieve a small letter in the mail this means you have not been accepted into the university. If you recieve a larger envolope like 8×11 this means you have been excepted. My questions is this myth true or can you recieve a smaller acceptance letter. Please let me know I just applied to a couple of schools. Thanks

Not always, sometimes you just get a letter saying you are accepted…you don’t always get a huge packet.

This is something of a stereotype, but it does have some true to it.
A definite acceptance usually comes with a large enrollment packet, but some schools may send a small letter with your acceptance and send the enrollment packet later.
A definite rejection usually doesn’t waste a lot of paper, but may include some additional papers if you’ve been waitlisted, or offer you a chance to contest your rejection, or if they need some additional information.
So it might be somewhat true as a vague guide, but don’t break into tears until you’ve actually opened the envelope and read the letter.

Not true. From my experience last year, some of those 8 x 11s were “ads” from the schools I’d applied to, and several schools sent thin, small letter-sized envelopes with a single sheet of paper saying congrats, you’re in, more information to follow.

no because small letter could mean waiting list and acceptance. usually they send big letters for acceptance because they send the papers you need and brochures for you to look at.
if you get a small letter, DONT GIVE UP HOPE YET!!!

not true! i got into all of my schools and most of the letters were small. it just depends on the school. but getting a big letter is a gurantee you got in. biggers always better.

No it isn’t true. I have been denied by large and small envelopes and I have been accepted by large and small ones. It really depends on the school and what they want done before you attend.
