Frequently Asked Questions

How do I send a fake college acceptance letter?

Pick a university, choose an acceptance or rejection, and enter your friend's name and email address. College Decision Simulator emails them a link to a realistic decision letter on official-looking stationery.

Does the recipient find out it's a prank?

Yes. About five minutes after your friend opens the letter, they automatically receive a second email explaining that the decision was a prank sent through College Decision Simulator.

Can I send a fake rejection letter instead?

Yes. Every university offers both an acceptance letter and a rejection letter; you choose which one your friend receives.

How much does it cost?

$5 for one letter, $10 for three letters, or $20 for unlimited letters (sending limits apply). There is no account to create; payment is handled by Stripe.

Which universities can I choose?

50 universities, including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge, NYU and UC Berkeley.

Is College Decision Simulator affiliated with any university?

No. College Decision Simulator is an independent entertainment site and is not affiliated with any university. The letters are fictional and are not real admission decisions.
