Contact and Acceptances

[kbatulli]

Mainly for Humanities people--

How many of you, who have received acceptance offers, were contacted by a prof? Is that more common than simply receiving postal mail without having a prof. make contact either by phone or email beforehand?

Here's the breakdown I've seen on acceptances this year:

1 Prof email

1 Prof phone call

1 thin envelope, single letter

1 9" by 11" envelope, big packet of stuff

Similarly, my rejections have come from either automated emails or just by checking the school websites (I assume the thin letter will follow within a month).

So I guess anything is possible.

Good to know, but I don't care how I hear - just so I hear. :-D
