I do agree that the memory of the envelope is nice, but why not use both the immediate and memorable methods? All schools I was accepted to thus far including Syracuse and UCSD among others, officially accepted me online weeks ago for the instant gratifying part, then just a few days ago I recieve their giant folders/packages for the paper acceptance which I can hold for memory. The fact that USC is one of the last schools to notify people, and do it only in such a primitive fasion where finding out progress is like using the pony express is what’s increasing the frustration for the wait.
