Email? Regular mail? Stressed please help
Old threads suggest by regular mail, but who knows.
As for when, all I know is Dec. 15 (not really a way to predict the time if by regular mail).
You’ll be okay, friend. 
Don’t stress too much!
Domestic students will be notified by regular mail; international students by email. December 15th is the notification date. Depending on where you live however, the date you receive the notification will vary, so you may not actually know on the 15th. (always adds to the stress!).
One thing to know…both acceptances and deferrals come in the same size envelope (small), so don’t get discouraged until you open the letter.
Good luck to all!
My son’s counselor was given a list and told him at school. He was stunned.
