Admission status received from 'Other via Other'

[Bab]

I wanted to know that the 'Other' sources of result announcements are as I am aware of only email.

Just imagining some possibilities:

1. You run into a prof at a conference and they tell you the good news in person.

2. A prof from the school you applied to is visiting your department and they tell you the good news in person.

3. You have a friend already in the program who is on the visiting student planning committee so they find out who's coming, see that you're accepted and tell you by Facebook message.

4. Whoever is filling out the survey entry wanted to be more anonymous and so they picked the most ambiguous option.

etc. etc.
