<p>On the Harvard admission portal, it says "Letters to admitted applicants will be mailed that morning." I know everyone will get their decision in email. I'm wondering if they send out deferred or rejected letters in mail? Or do they want until March to send it all at once for those deferred and rejected?</p>
<p>Why should they wait? People need to know, right? They might not send letters to rejected applicants who have checked their online decisions however. That’s what my college does.</p>
<p>No, everyone knows their decision through email. They said they will also send letters to admitted students. I want to know if deferred or rejected students get any letter through mail?</p>
<p>I doubt it. From their point of view it would pretty much be a waste of paper considering the results are available online anyways. The letters to whoever is admitted will probably have a lot of extra information, but sending a letter to someone deferred or rejected wouldn’t really have any purpose.</p>
<p>Huh? So there’s only an email if we’re accepted?</p>
<p>Guys, possible scenarios:
- You’re accepted → you get an email and a letter.
- You’re rejected or deferred → you get an email.</p>
<p>Beatles is spot on:</p>
<p>Everyone will get emailed their decision at 3 PM. The accepted people will ALSO get a letter in the mail. </p>
<p>It’s quite simple.</p>
<p>Three years ago, Harvard sent every applicant a letter, whether they were deferred, rejected, waitlisted or accepted – and they did so regardless of whether the applicant received and opened their email from Admissions. I’m not aware things have changes since then.</p>
