<p>Do most colleges send out physical acceptance letters? I'd imagine that almost all, if not all, colleges notify applicants via email, but don't many colleges send out acceptance letters a week later as well? I sort of want a tangible remembrance of my acceptance (if I get in)</p>
<p>My son received snail mail acceptance letters from all his colleges 2 years ago. :)</p>
<p>Colleges generally send out letters which usually arrive after decisions are given on-line. I assume eventually even that mailing will be eliminated.</p>
<p>That’s sort of a yes, but …</p>
<p>The acceptance letter in many cases is also a marketing tool to assist the new admit into choosing ChoiceU. </p>
<p>Both my sons were accepted by the same school, six years apart. The difference in the acceptance mailing was substantial. The most recent acceptance came in a very impressive 4-color cardstock folder with all kinds of information and <em>stuff</em>. S1 got a very nice letter, on plain white paper with a return coupon.</p>
