<p>do acceptances and rejections for stanford, university of pennyslvania, yale, columbia, and northwestern university for regular admissions come as paper mail or do you check online?</p>
<p>Both are done. Regular mail and online notification</p>
<p>stanford doesn’t send out paper rejections because they want to be environmentally-friendly</p>
<p>Both, except for Stanford. Though a lot of those schools send “likely” letters in February, before an acceptance letter is officially sent out.</p>
<p>Many schools send a letter and also post them online for you to check.</p>
<p>Many schools do both, generally it’s posted online and mail comes a few days later.</p>
<p>casey of hearts is mostly correct. SOME of these schools send “likely letters” to a very small percentage of students whom they want to admit. Most admitees never receive these likely letters.</p>
