<p>hey if you get off the waitlist, do you get an acceptance letter or just a phone call?</p>
<p>It depends on the institution, and possibly on the number of students being admitted. If they are taking a lot of people off the waitlist, it's too time-consuming to call them all. Also, sometimes students may think it's a prank. Therefore, some institutions may use a letter.</p>
<p>Some students have posted that they have received emails.</p>
<p>I got a call and an email.</p>
