Checking online portals

[thehegeldialectic]

Have any of you found stuff out by checking the online portal that you didn't find out via email or phone call?

If so, for what school?

I didn't have a single case last year where I found out via portal before email or phone.

In one case somebody found out about a rejection via the portal and posted it in the results thread, and then I checked and I was also rejected. The letter came the next day. That's the only instance, though.

I found out about my acceptance to Ohio State by checking the online portal a day or two before receiving an email from the department.

My roommate found out about Cornell before getting the official email.

I never received an email from Yale, just checked the portal and found a rejection there. There wasn't some email that didn't make it past my spam filter either, the email was just never sent. Apparently a few other people experienced the same problem, but this definitely wasn't typical.
