How are rejections/acceptances sent?

[peiguy]

Does anyone know how the responses are sent out?
Has anyone heard how many applicants were interviewed from each region?

I think they are sent out by snail mail.

Hey guys, Good luck next month everyone :p What they did last year, is they courriered the acceptance letters (sign on arrival style I believe- but unfortunately no first-hand experience) on Wednesday so that they arrived to everyone on Friday (of course if you are outside a major city I think they are somewhat delayed). HOwever they graced me with a snail-mail rejection letter that didn't arrive till later the next week. So after the posts of happy people start lighting up, you really only have another day of hope before the inevitable facts sink in...:x

Acceptances have always been sent by registered mail (a guy comes to your door or you get a card that says go to the post office if you have those community mail boxes) and waitlists/rejections have gone snail mail - you can distinguish those too but I won't say here unless you really want to know in order not to give it away if you don't want to know!

Does anyone know whether they are coming out March 17th this year? Last year my friends received them on this date.
