acceptance letters

Welcome to school

Acceptance letters are formal notifications that someone has been admitted or approved—typically to a school, university, or job.

The term most often appears in educational contexts, where students anxiously await acceptance letters from colleges: She got her acceptance letter from Stanford today.

The plural form reflects the common practice of applying to multiple institutions.
