<p>How is one notified of the decision?</p>
<p>e-mail.
if you get in, you'll get the fat envelope later.</p>
<p>eeeeeeeemz</p>
<p>so they only send the rejection by email, unless you request a letter
and the acceptance will be followed automatically by a fat envelope later?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure they send both by email, and you'll get a response in the mail whether you're accepted or rejected as well. Its just that if you're accepted, your envelope will be much larger and fatter than if you are rejected.</p>
<p>So its kinda like an extra punch in the gut if you first get rejected by email, then by mail...</p>
<p>if you get rejected, they ask u if u would like a hard copy of ur rejection letter...lol.</p>
<p>^that's kind of saddening.</p>
<p>I would want a hard copy of my rejection as a minimal token of all the hard work I put into the application.</p>
<p>And tearing up a letter is far more satisfying than deleting an email :P</p>
