Do high schools get notified about college acceptances?

When students are accepted into colleges, does the high school automatically get informed of this, or is it up to the student to share the news? I'm wondering how the process usually goes.

Typically, high schools do not automatically receive notifications from colleges about students' acceptances. When a student is accepted into a college, the college will directly notify the student, usually through an email, letter, or notification through the college's application portal.

However, some high schools may request students to self-report their admissions decisions. This could be for several reasons, such as updating the high school's records, providing data for future students about college acceptances, and celebrating student achievements.

Remember, it's entirely up to the student whether or not they want to share their college acceptance information, be it with their peers or their high school. While it's common to celebrate and share the news, not everyone feels comfortable doing so, and that's completely okay. It's a personal decision based on how comfortable the student is with disclosing that information.
