"Universities typically finalize their admissions decisions approximately five months prior to the commencement of classes. Notification of these decisions is conveyed through postal mail. Each institution you have applied to will issue one of three potential types of letters.
Acceptance Letter from the University:
The first variant is the acceptance letter, which may or may not be accompanied by supplemental materials from the university. In certain cases, these supplementary materials are dispatched subsequent to the acceptance confirmation. This correspondence generally outlines a stipulated deadline by which your decision is expected. If you choose to accept the offer, it might necessitate an immediate deposit to secure your placement. Conversely, if you opt to decline the offer, a formal acknowledgment is recommended. Such a response, aside from displaying courtesy, also frees up a slot for another prospective student.
Waiting List Letter from the University:
The second type is the waiting list letter. This communication indicates that you are being considered for admission, but due to capacity constraints, a definite position cannot be offered at that moment. Should a guaranteed spot become available at a later time (for instance, when another candidate rejects an admission offer, as described earlier), the university will subsequently send an acceptance letter.
Rejection Letter from the University:
The third category encompasses rejection letters. Universities decline applications for various reasons; occasionally, exceptionally qualified candidates must be turned down due to an overwhelming number of applicants and limited openings. Rejection letters do not mandate a response.
Upon receipt of decisions from all applied universities, you will be faced with the task of making your own decision. This process demands careful deliberation and should not be rushed. Nonetheless, it is imperative that a response be submitted by the stipulated deadline for each acceptance letter."
