How do you prefer to receive an Admissions decision from a school?

Strip-o-gram! That way even a rejection will have something good to it!

but seriously, email for acceptance, snail mail for rejection.

Email for both. I am freaking out keeping track of when the postage mail arrives, email, and phone calls. I think I would be a nervous wreak if I received a phone call either--rejection or acceptance. At least in email, I can choose when and where to open it, yet know it has arrived.

My M.Ed application was through the ApplyNow system and I was at home when the email arrived that said to check my decision status online. I waited a good hour to build up the courage to actually check. When I found out I was accepted, I called my husband, my mom, my MIL, everyone--I was crying, woo-hooing, etc. But all of these shananigans were on my terms.

Up until today I would have said e-mail/website update, but after experiencing the anticipation of holding an envelope in my hand and not knowing what was inside:

definitely Postal.
