For us it is a letter and a POSTCARD!! If your letter doesn't have a postcard along with it, then you know you didn't get in. My plan A failed, but my plan B is going along great. What I did was look at ALL of the schools in my area and found out what was needed for each school. I seriously hate waiting, but you just have to keep saying to yourself "I'm going to get in!!" You will make it!! Just never give up!
