What does an offer letter from the Big Three look like?

Is it a fat envelope? Skinny? Is it a large packet of info or just one letter?

the offer letters from the big, Big, BIG 3 are very different from the offer letters of the also-rans.
For starters, they are delivered to you personally by Mercury, the messenger god. Harps are playing and everything will feel ethereal. The envelopes are hefty, and yet somehow weightless -- given the dreamlike state you will be in. The offer letters from the also-rans are relatively weighty, compared to the rejection / WL letters from the also-rans. |

| It is a beautiful gold-encrusted parchment envelope delivered by doves in a basket lined with exotic blossoms. |

It's been a little while since I received one. It was a fat business-sized envelope with deposit form included. I started tearing up before I opened it. Good luck to your family! |

Beauvoir: Medium sized (not 8 by 11) fattish envelope. There is no mistaking a Yes from a No.
Are you doing a coffee table book or something? |

One of the funniest responses on DCUM ever.

While pp's comments had me doubling over. I have to admit it did feel ethereal opening my daughter's acceptance letter. Harp music would have made the moment just that more perfect. |

Are you sure you received a yes and not a waitlist which turned INTO a yes? Because I'm telling you there were harps for the yes'es.

| So the acceptance letters are business sized envelopes w/ just more than one sheet of paper in them right? Has anyone gotten a yes that was just one sheet of paper? |

...okay, I think I get it now.
The OP wants to know if their NEIGHBOR'S kid got in. Ding ding ding! We have reached a new low!

Foul! When we were in OP's shoes, DH and I got home at different times and each occasionally had to travel out of town. I think it's totally reasonable to want to ask this question for a lot of different reasons--for us one of those reasons included the likelihood that we'd have to suspend urge to tear envelope open because we'd promised to wait for the other spouse. Beyond that, our Beauvoir acceptance from March 2006 didn't have harps. Maybe because we're legacy, but we just got a bumpersticker and a bunch of enrollment forms. Still happy, though! |

I think my ding ding ding was right. No one waits for the other to get home to open.
OP, will you clarify your motives? |

She doesn't owe you an explanation, nutty. PP, do you live in a group home? I can't think of another scenario where you would be able to monitor someone else's mail inflow without committing a moral or Federal offense of some sort. |
