2018 Notification Guide

@brassarrow, I’ve had those same type of dreams involving schools that I have not applied to either! M10 is Messing with my mind!

I just wake up worried. Nearly every night!

Me, too! I can’t stop with picturing all my rejections and telling myself I won’t be accepted!

I keep telling myself the same thing!

That way, if I get accepted I will be pleasantly surprised rather than be disappointed with rejection

I think this thread is turning into the freakout thread… :-S

@buuzn03 it definitely is, but I came here to confirm that Thacher is doing the same thing about notifying applicants this year.

So decisions for Thacher are still coming out at 4 p.m. PST (or 7 p.m. EST), and they will also send mail via USPS to all waitlisted and accepted applicants that is due to arrive around M10.

Has anyone signed up for the USPS track delivery thing?

Got online portal instructions from Lville today! 12 days :open_mouth:

@MaxLMZ I believe that besides the famous Andover, (their portal decisions still arrive online, just at a really late time of day), most schools provide decisions online and then will send out a package in the following week so, there really isn’t any purpose. Also, it could lead to a false positive because e-commerce and online shopping are so popular these days (Amazon) that you could possibly purchase something online that is due to arrive at a similar time and seems like a possible admissions package, but in reality could be just what you purchased.

It says that NMH’s decision is released on M8, but the email they sent says m10?

I’ll modify @FunintheSun1211 Did they give you a time and method (portal/email)

If I get rejected, is a way to apply for a summer program at BS, or would M10 be too late to start?

@buuzn03, they did not give a time.

Last year some of the letters/packages arrived prior to the online notification. I know we got the Middlesex one prior to the decision on the portal. I don’t remember the others.

Middlesex notification time confirmed to anytime between 9 AM and 12 PM EST

@HMom16 When did the package arrive?

@snapchat I’m pretty sure it was by 10am.

a lot of the “how to get notified of decisions on M10” emails are starting to come in from BS’s…

I haven’t gotten any yet
