Creighton University has started giving their applicants the option of hearing back from them via text message - instead of via mail. This gives them near instant feedback from the admissions department - usually within 24 hours. (This would have saved some Harvard MBA students a lot of trouble earlier)
Imagine the joy of your children receiving their acceptance letter:
GR8 NEWS! U R IN! TTYL! - BYU
Or imagine their disappointment when they hear:
U SUK. - BYU
And if the housing department starts using the text message thing, Nicole’s old Virgin Mobile phone’s pre-written text messages such as “On top, or bottom?” would help them decide bunk-mate placement…
The future is bright.
