Are there any schools that only give updates via their portals, without sending emails?
It's a pain to login to all these different status sites.

I don't even know if there is a risk. After I know the risk, then I'll decide if I should take itDo you really want to take the risk of missing a message? Just log in once a day to each one. If it hurts too much because you can't remember your usernames and passwords, KeePass will help you immensely.
But it might be an extra ~2 weeks before email or snail mail arrive with the same information.No school will invite you for interview or accept you through the portal only,

I've never heard of a student getting a portal interview invite and not receiving an email notification for 2 weeks.
Even if schools do send e-mails, hiccups happen. It'd be wise to check the portals somewhat regularly (maybe once a week) regardless just to make sure nothing got lost. You should also be sure to check your spam folder as a lot of e-mails get sent there unfortunately.
THIS THIS THIS. Upstate didn't email me for an interview but back in august I was checking my portals every day. Luckily I caught that one!
Yeah Drexel is horrible about that. I remember randomly deciding to check that portal and finding the II, not knowing how long it had been there, and then got the email days later after I already scheduled.Yeah Drexel updated my portal but no email or snail mail was sent
