With our notification date right around the corner, we’d like to remind our applicants that Lawrence University still does things the old-fashioned way: we mail our Early Action admission decisions via First Class postal mail on January 15. Even though our decisions will be going in the mail next Tuesday, student decisions should arrive at their mailing addresses sometime later next week… unless the United States Post Office has developed a new super-fast way of getting their mail trucks around, in which case it might arrive sooner than that. (In spectacular fashion, we might add.)
Why postal mail? A staggering majority of our applicants we have surveyed say they prefer their admission decisions in their mailboxes, not their inboxes.
