waiting

Do schools find it unnecessary to send rejection letters anymore? Or even rejection emails? Do they only let you know when you're accepted, and assume that everyone else will figure it out on their own?

Rejection/Acceptance emails are so weird... such a significant thing in such a flat and intangible medium.

The schools I'm waiting on are not live possibilities for us, practically, and I never entirely expected to gain admittance. So it won't break my heart, but it would be nice to know.
