<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Our first D14 has finished applications and is now waiting for the hopeful college acceptance results in the next coming months. I know a few colleges she applied to said they will send email acceptances. Do most colleges now send their acceptances through email, or can we expect a few exciting "Congratulations" envelopes? I think it is more fun to get the envelopes :).</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>What is a D14?</p>
<p>Most now give decisions either via email or by simply showing it in the applicant’s on-line account on the specified date decisions are released. At the same time, most of those same colleges then also send a letter but it usually arrives after the applicant has already learned the decision via email or by checking the on-line application file, although some of those colleges do denials only by letter. There may still be some colleges that use only letters but I cannot think of any.</p>

<p>Ah, thanks. So the OP has multiple D14s. Interesting.</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>The O/P would have to state for certain, but I suspect the awkward phrasing meant … “we are going through this process with our eldest child (‘first’) who happens to be a girl (‘D’) graduting this academic year (‘14’).”</p>
<p>Yes…that’s what I meant…our first child who is a D14 just submitted her apps…</p>
<p>Any thoughts on acceptances?</p>
<p>Thanks Drusba!!!</p>
<p>Carleton College still sends all acceptances for domestic applicants by regular mail in a big envelope. At admission time it’s both exciting and frustrating waiting for the mail carrier every day.</p>
<p>There are a variety of ways used by universities for notification. Duke uses a web site with unique applicant logins. Notre Dame (like Carleton) still uses paper envelopes and snail mail. Georgia Tech gives every applicant a school email account and uses this for notification.</p>
