Applying Soon!

I'm applying to colleges soon, and the program that I'm applying to has a 3.2% acceptance rate! I'm not a perfect student, so I know that my chances are very slim, in fact, slim to none, so I'm just hoping that ***** University will be more sincere and nice in their rejection letter. However, if by some 1 in a million chance that I'm accepted, I will be waiting for a very nice and personal acceptance letter! Surely they have the time to do that, accepting only about 70 students per year!

Sample Acceptance Packages - Do they make the grade?

In addition to being mindful of how the rejection process is handled, colleges and universities should evaluate how communications to admitted students are being perceived, as well. At Lipman Hearne, we asked our resident intern, Katie (a student at Northwestern), for her perspective towards our latest collection of acceptance packages from more than a dozen top-quality institutions, and overall she graded them a “C” – barely passing. Needed? More personalization, accurate information, strong visual presentation – a real sense that “we really want you.” Not needed? Generic information, slapdash packages of unrelated materials, contradictory information.

“You really pay attention to the stuff you get after you’re accepted,” says Katie. “You don’t throw any of it away.” So don’t regard it as a throwaway.

We've made her findings and the examples available to the public here: http://www.lipmanhearnecommons.com/2009/05/closing-the-deal-a-students-perspective-on-acceptance-communications/

Back in 1968 Boston U.....

...admitted me, but the financial aid department decided I needed too much aid and didn't offer me any aid at all. In an interview with the aid department they told me they thought offering me no aid at all would "help" me choose another college. So, the admissions department said I was good enough to get in, but the financial aid department nullified the admission.

Wow!

Back in the Paleozoic era (the early 90s), my acceptance from UMich was a fat envelope, but those from Carnegie Mellon and Georgetown were both thin, proving that "phat envelope" theory a myth, mostly. I must say, though, that if I were to receive corrections on a rejection letter, I think I'd be ticked enough to write back, correcting THEIR stupid letters. (I'm terrible. ;-)

Electronic Notification can hurt

Indeed they are faster but if they carry bad news, they tend to hurt more because all it says is "deny" rather than a traditional letters tell you the underlying reason. It could be too much applicants to many other factors but unlike most electronic notification its quite brief. So without much reasonings, it feels bad on the individual applying to that school.....

THNKS!!!!

how cute

a great educational factory that produces excess candidates for long gone jobs. the eternal formal college community scam

great acceptance

Le Moyne College in syracuse, new york sent me a whole gift package including a earth friendly bag after they accepted me. A very cool way of telling me they want me to come to their school.
