I did, and I posted a picture of the letter. It was nice to let the dozens, maybe hundreds, of people that help me get to where I am know that I had finally made it. To everyone saying it's impersonal, that might be true, but it's far more practical than calling or messaging the 100+ people that I would want to tell just to say "Hey, I got into med school! Thanks and CONGRATULATE ME!!!".
IMO, I think it's fine if someone wants to post something saying that they got in, or even where they got in/where they are going to end up. It's a major life event that they worked years for, why shouldn't they share it with others? On the other hand, it would be dumb/annoying if someone was accepted to 5 or 6 schools and they posted every time they got an acceptance. It's like baby pictures. I love to hear when a friend has a kid, and maybe see pics 2-3 times per year, but when they post pictures every week (or worse, every day), that's when I'm happy fb added the 'unsubscribe' button for newsfeeds.

Should you post about your acceptance on Facebook?
