<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Just curious how the colleges that you applied to notified you of their decision. Did you first find out via snail mail, text, email, online application status, etc?</p>
<p>Also, what do you think about colleges taking the non-traditional route to notify you? How would you feel if you received an email or text BEFORE getting your acceptance packet or that denial letter?</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>I got sent an email by Northeastern saying my decision was ready on the application status check website they have set up. Followed a bunch of links, got an adobe document telling me I’d been waitlisted… I was really surprised, but I guess they knew they weren’t my first choice.</p>
<p>Edit: I prefer to find out electronically - it’s easier, no worrying about your letter getting lost or harassing the mailman.</p>
<p>One acceptance by mail, two by email. I have to say, although electronically is more convenient, it was FAR more exciting to receive the letter in the mail…in fact, I just found out about an acceptance online about 15 minutes ago, and although it was to a great school, I wasn’t expecting a decision this early and so it was slightly anticlimactic.</p>
<p>Mostly through email, snail mail, or online status.</p>
<p>I think all three are equally climatic, with the drama and anxiety intensified depending on how much you like the school.</p>
