College Acceptance Text Message?

Applying to College
1

<p>If a college gives you the option of having them send you a text message when you get accepted, and you say “Yes”, will they still send you an acceptance letter, also?</p>

2

<p>Yes. At the least, they will also send you a letter via regular mail. Obviously they have to, since they need to send you some paperwork (regarding keeping your spot).</p>

<p>Thank you for the reply Jason110!</p>

<p>(Now let’s just hope I get accepted to the colleges I applied to… ^.^ )</p>

<p>Does this mean the school will be using textspeak to notify you:</p>

<p>“Congrts, u r n @ r skl. Send $$.”</p>

5

<p>“Congrts, u r n @ r skl. Send $$.”</p>

<p>hahaha that would be awesome</p>

6

<p>What school is texting admission decisions?</p>

7

<p>that sounds terrifying</p>

8

<p>imagine the rejection</p>

9

<p>I doubt they would text rejections. Baylor text messages acceptances, but sends out rejections via postal mail.</p>

10

<p>^^is that the only school that sends out txt acceptances? must be pretty pricey to do so.</p>

11

<p>Or less pricey than mail…
Think about it, if you registered a cell phone number and bought unlimited text it would probably cost you 60 bucks a month depending on who your carrier. When we talk about postage, it is close to 50 cents per applicant. 20000 applicants would mean roughly $10,000 spent on mailing these people responses.</p>

<p>I don’t know about texting but I do know some schools do provide email rejections, under green initiatives. Stanford is one. They will provide a paper one if requested.</p>

13

<p>You can send texts for free through email too.</p>

14

<p>^ooh thanks SCftw. i was gonna say the txting is not an alternative to postal mail, but email which is free.</p>
