I don't know what it's like now with so much info available online, but I'm from an era where everything was done by mail. I saw a McDonald's commercial where they're touting how employees qualify for educational aid, and the commercial has the subject of the commercial opening an acceptance letter from "State University".
My first acceptance letter was in a normal business size envelope. I thought it might be a rejection letter because of the size, but it noted that I would receive supplemental packages (such as the housing application) separately which came in about a week. I also received other acceptance letters in the form of a huge package that had everything in there at once. A friend gave me a ride home and when I pulled out that envelope (which was easily identifiable) her eyes looked like daggers because she wanted to attend that school badly. Around the same time I remember getting an acceptance notice in the form of a post card. It seemed a bit cheap but I wasn't going to attend anyways after I got my first choice.
All my rejection letters were single-page letters in business sized envelopes.
