<p>Does the college email you to let you know that you can begin checking your admissions status online once the decisions become available or do you just wait until the day when they are supposed to be out and start checking? This is a general question, not a specific one geared towards a specific college.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Some colleges with rolling admission post their decision online and the email comes a few days later, so if you check often, you may find out your decision before actually getting the email. But other colleges, say that it will be posted after such and such day at such and such time, in which case I don’t think they’d send an email. But other colleges, who don’t have a definitive posting date will probably send an email.</p>
