I don't know. The more I think about this, the more I wonder. I think it does seem nicer to have someone personally tell the pnm, but on the other hand it does make it seem like it's a bigger deal.
I can remember as a kid trying out for teams and not making it. They would post a public list of who made the team, and you went and checked the list.
If you didn't make it, you felt bad and you could resolve to practice harder and try out again next year or look for another activity or sport to try.
Had they had counselors come to see us or insisted on delivering the news in person, I think it would have been more intense, more personal and seemed like a bigger deal.
Again, I think getting an envelope with a regret note instead of a bid as part of a public ceremony like many campuses have would be a terrible way to handle this issue.
I think the phone calls are fine and better than making someone come in and get the news, but we don't need think of PNMs as such fragile flowers.
