Are College Admissions Decisions Emailed As Well As Mailed?
I thought that they were only mailed, but I was watching a program yesterday that showed the seniors getting admissions answers on their cellphones.
And another thing, when colleges say that you’ll get your admissions decision BY April 1st, does that mean you could get it before April or that they’ll only post it in April? (for regular decision)
Yes it is true. I received my notices via e-mail first. They also send students a snail mail copy.

Was that program Gossip Girl by any chance?
Anyways, if you applied online, which I’m assuming you did, then the school should have sent you something recognizing that they have received your application. A lot of schools, like columbia and pomona college, send you a login thing to track the status of what they have received, while some schools, like NYU, will send a receipt of application but don’t have an online tracker. Anyways, I think all of the schools that have online trackers will post your admissions decisions online (and perhaps schools like NYU that don’t will email, but I’m not sure), which will probably come up about a week before they actually send out the decision on paper. As far as getting the results before April 1st, I know some schools have notification deadlines before then (UC Davis is march 15th), and so they certainly will let you know before then–if you applied to any schools with such early deadlines that is. If not, then I actually have the same question! I think Swarthmore’s deadline is April 15th, and I will die if I have to wait that long! I’m really hoping the deadline isn’t the actual notification day, but I don’t actually know about that one! Good luck waiting–I know how agonizing it is!
