<p>Are High Schools notified of admission? Like, they get a message if the student is accepted or rejected?</p>
<p>I don't think they are, I think it's your responsibility to let GCs, teachers, etc. know.</p>
<p>No. 10char</p>
<p>Uh... I heard Tufts called the guidance counselors of the students who were accepted.</p>
<p>no...unless your GC has a special relationship w/a certain college</p>
<p>It's your responsibility to let your school know, and it's courteous that you let your GCs and teachers who wrote recommendations know what schools accepted you.</p>
<p>I would think it's especially important to notify schools that catalog information on Naviance and other similar systems (unfortunately, our HS doesn't have this.) Think of it as giving valuable info back to the underclassmen at your HS, in addition to being a courtesy to your LOR writers and GC. The HS administrators like to advertize this information as well (the acceptances.)</p>
<p>Some schools have bulletin boards where they post the acceptance letters. Our HS has a bulletin board near the main office where acceptance letters (the school the student will actually attend) are posted.</p>
<p>I've also read on CC that some places have boards for the rejection letters as well (not certain if these are giant dart boards?)</p>
<p>I know my counselor hears decisions from UGA.</p>
<p>I asked our counseling office if they wanted copies of acceptance letters, and was told it was unnecessary because they received lists from all of the colleges detailing who applied, under what category (ED, RD, ..), and the admission result for each applicant (admit, deny, waitlist/no admit, waitlist/admit) and the student's decision on attending. We're also a Naviance school -- she mentioned this is how the Naviance data gets populated. Not sure if the data itself is delivered through Naviance, but it sounded very comprehensive.</p>
<p>My GC was, went to see her the monday after I found out and she already knew. But that was from my ED school... For OU and UT she didn't hear anything.</p>
<p>I know for a fact that my college, Georgetown, sends to each Guidance Office a list of students who applied from their school and the admissions decisions on each student immediately after decision letters are mailed.</p>
