Out of curiosity, when you receive good news from a school, do they generally send it in a giant envelope, like undergrad?! Just trying to better visualize my acceptance a few months down the road 😉
 
I got a call from the Dean from Touro-NY and an acceptance letter from Touro-NV. Roger form Touro-NV will give you the option of an e-mail from him as soon as he knows. So you can opt for that.

Phone calls...Snail Mail...And email.

I prefer email. You can miss a phone call and you never know when you will get snail mail. Can't miss an email.😀
 
They told us to check the website 7 days after our interview day.

Logged in and it went from Decision: Pending Interview to Decision: Accept Applicant.

Snail mail letter a week later.
 
I got a call from the Dean at LMU-DCOM. A week later I received a small envelope in the mail-no big enevelope for the acceptance letter! Over the next few weeks I received three huge envelopes with all kinds of goodies!😀
 
LECOM posted on their applicant portal "A decision has been made regarding your application"

They didn't actually post what the decision was. Five days later it was a small envelope.

LECOM's was a regular letter envelope but I could tell I was accepted just by opening it because there were 3 different pieces of paper in there. Why would they send me 3 letters just to reject me? It was an acceptance letter from Amy Rowe, Silvia Ferretti (sic), and an address form.
 
i was a tad sneaky and saw on the my LECOM account that a new form was required.."Address Form." I was worried that I was missing something and emailed, asking what that was for. The response was,
"You'll see 🙂" or something like that.
 
DMU & CCOM were emails/status updates on the website, followed by snail mail

KCUMB & Western were snail mail

PNWU was a phone call (by far my favorite, it was my first acceptance and it was really exciting. I much preferred this method 🙂)
 
Nova-COM does the website thing
goes from "interview applicant" to " provisionally accepted" then several mailings

phone calls are the best. when i got my first one, i was waiting at the bus stop after a long day of class. i was so excited that i started crying in front of everyone. slightly embarrassing, but i didn't care 🙂
