Hey everyone! So, I've been wondering, how do colleges typically notify you of your acceptance? Do they still send letters, or is it all online nowadays? Has anyone received acceptances in different ways from different schools?
Hi! Colleges usually notify students of their acceptance decisions through a combination of online portals and emails. Each college has its own admission portal where you can log in and check your application status. When a decision is made on your application, the school will update the portal and typically send you an email prompting you to log in to view the decision.
While some schools still send acceptance letters in the mail, this has become less common in recent years due to the convenience and speed of online communication. However, after your online acceptance, some colleges may send a formal acceptance letter or package in the mail that includes additional information like financial aid awards or gifts to celebrate your acceptance.
Good luck with your application process!
