<p>How do most LAC's and universities notify RD students when they are admitted, rejected, etc?</p>
<p>Do they ususally send an email telling them to check their status on-line?
Or, if it's a school that notifies students through the regular mail, do they first send an email telling them to expect a letter or a packet soon?</p>
<p>April 1 seems to be the near universal admissions notification date, but are there LAC's that actually let students know before that?</p>
<p>I got into CU boulder, U of Toronto, and Utah so far. None of them sent me an email saying I got in. I had to check my status on their online check thingy.</p>
<p>But U of T did FedEx my acceptance letter; I got an email from FedEx the day after my decision came out saying that I will be receiving a package from them shortly.</p>
<p>So yeah, I'm guessing some schools email you, others first by online-status then by mail.</p>
<p>I don't think we can say what "most" do. My d applied to 8 schools. Only 1 told her via the on-line system. Seven were snail mail only. You have to ask the specific schools.</p>
<p>some colleges do e-mail, some online checking, some only snail mail. ex: harvard does e-mail, yale+princeton do online checking. if u decide to count likely letters as admissions decisions, those r usually snail mail but occassionally e-mail.</p>
<p>UChicago posts the decision letter on the Uncommon Application page and sends you an email notifying you of the availability of the decision. The decision itself, however, is not sent.</p>
