Just FYI..RM acceptances come in a very thin envelope. (unless something has changed), they look like a rejection until you open it. Blair SMACs sends a large envelope and is a more obvious admit from the outside.

There was some mention of the size of envelope being different in rejection versus acceptance. Is there a difference. My DD wants to open herself but is super super nervous about it, and I was just wondering if I could get a heads up of what to expect by envelope size.

Hoping they come in mail this afternoon. The waiting is driving DD crazy!

Distraction!
Blame Post Office!
My DS got acceptance to MS several years ago almost a week later (school refused to release info over e-mail)! My DD never got letter from PHS at all. I had to call and e-mail school office. She was waitlisted and later accepted. So do not overthink. Just wait.

And, yes, I know I am way overthinking it. And, yes I have now too much time on my hands w/ the 2 hour delay. And, yes, I do realize some of it is the delivery end,

And, yes, I am still biting my nails for dd and waiting. I really should distract myself with work, but mail theories would also do.


Could be that larger heavier (acceptance) envelopes get sorted and shipped off faster by the post office.


Stop! You need some distraction...Kylie had her baby girl!

Acceptance/rejections go out the same time.

My DD was rejected by Richard Montgomery IB yesterday. I wonder if the acceptances went out at the same time?

Thanks, yes, I know timing only reflects on Post Office delivery times. Two years ago, letter was super late, but was still an acceptance
