Do any schools send secondaries by regular mail?

We all get tons of junk mail, so are there any med schools in particular whose envelopes we should be looking out for during secondaries? Or is it 100% email?

I'm guessing acceptances/rejections come via regular mail and email?

The only secondary I recall receiving via regular mail was Vanderbilt. The rest were completed online, or otherwise, the form was available online and then sent in via post.

Also, acceptances/rejections were a mixture of the two. For rejections, mine were mostly emailed. And then, for some, they were email rejections coupled with a letter a week or so letter.

For acceptances, both my acceptances I received a phone call and regular letter. And then, for one of those, I received an email in addition to that.

It runs the gambut. I think most secondaries are given out by regular mail, but some you have to send in via snail mail. Some schools still give out interviews only by snail mail, and others acceptances only by snail mail, although most interviews are email and often acceptances are kicked off with phone calls.

Arkansas was paper and so was at least one other one that I'm forgetting. I remember having to mail in UCSF, but I think the secondary was mailed and printed and mailed back.

Oh yeah, something I forgot to mention... Some schools will send you a letter via regular mail to let you know the website for completing the secondary.
