[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One school accepted our son and gave him basically 30 days  to accept their offer of admission.  Once he accepted their offer they would mail out his acceptance letter.  He did not wind up going with that school but the bottom line is - do not assume that snail mail will give you the complete picture.

She NEEDS to look at her portal.  She might miss the boat on an offer if she doesn't.  Plus, it's time to start thinking about scheduling orientation, choosing a dorm, etc.  [/quote]

On social media, it seemed all the top 20 colleges posted pictures of admissions officers mailing boxes and boxes full of acceptance packages. I think those are sent automatically.[/quote]

If that is OP immediately above: You're still relying on "I think" and other assumptions? Based now on social media photos? You were just saying that you were also assuming that no email means rejection. All this assuming based on...nothing. Are you really not seeing the posts here from people noting that some colleges DO use snail mail and some require a response in 30 days etc.? Those  responding are parents telling you they have actually been through this process, but you keep assuming what you want and buying into your DD's not opening the portals. Why were you worried in the original post but now you're as scared as she is to just look?

Agre with PP who said just sit down with her and force the issue, now.

It isn't even about the process any more; it's about DD being immature and OP apparently being willing now to let social media and assumptions tell both of them what to do.
