[Anonymous]

Which college's letter was well written? Not well written? Or you didn't care how it was written-- kid got in that's all that matters?

If it is an acceptance, it is well written

Are you referring to the personal hand written one from the regional admissions officer - or the typed out one the launches as a pdf on the portal?

Either or, or all of them? Anything stand out in any or all of those letters?

Which school has the most cruel rejection letter? “You are not qualified!” That kind of thing

Nobody reads it that closely

Cornell's acceptance letter is best read on a computer with the sound on so you can hear the choir sing far above Cayuga's waters as the confetti falls over the letter.

St John's College was absolutely lovely, and specifically referenced, in an additional handwritten note, that they had loved one of my son's essays. They sent a fun little cardboard box with postcards, acceptance letter sealed with wax, and the Illiad as well. We felt bad declining.

W&M as also pretty, all in green and gold. Their likely postcard was handwritten as well.

DS went elsewhere and I don't even recall what their college's acceptance was like! In the end, it's not about the announcement, but about the overall fit.

Not talking rejection letters. Just the ones that said some version of 'You got in"

Of course. SJ is small so they can personalize. Larger schools probably don't do that.
