<p>Nowadays that everything is computer- oriented, do you still receive your admission/ rejection via snail mail? My whole life I expected the envelope phenomenon and wondered if it was indeed correct... but now willl i only receive a link?</p>
<p>I believe (I might be completely wrong about this, and somehow made up the memory) that the Common App or the Supplement had a box to check off if you wished to also receive your decision by snail mail.</p>
<p>dan 92, i don’t recall that, they have that for SAT registration?!</p>
<p>but I do know Yale has pretty much stopped mailing out paper rejections, and they will only mail one to you if you don’t log on to check your decision within a certain amount of time of it being posted.</p>
<p>I’m assuming they still mail deferrals/waitlistings/acceptances. I’ll be waiting for the mail for my SCEA outcome. :D</p>
<p>That is an SAT thing. They only post your scores for you to see online unless you check a box saying that you want them mailed to you. I’m not sure about schools though.</p>
<p>I forget which college, but I KNOW my D said she was able to check a box about not wanting to be notified by e-mail. But I feel like it was NYU maybe. </p>
<p>At any rate, there is also the chance it can be “leaked” to you. I have heard of people who got offers to attend things such as admitted students functions before they received an official acceptance. However…I must say…once again…I think that might have been NYU honors programs.</p>
