The prospective students will then either screenshot the message -- some people frame their letters, so why not -- or send a selfie back to the admissions team to let them know they received it.

Of course, the admitted students will still receive the requisite giant packet and an email, but if they are one of Snapchat's more than 150 million daily active users, it's likely that the app is the first place they will see the good news.
