Acceptance Letter - Fedex

Applying to College
1

<p>I just received notification that a package weighing 0.5 LBS is being sent by University of Rochester (my ED school) by FEDEX to Fairfield, Iowa (my hometown). MyROC, the online application tracker, has not updated their "decision," unfortunately. </p>

<p>My dad said generally schools send acceptance letters via FEDEX ($15 a FEDEX package • 2000 dejection letters = $30,000 so... but $0.45 a reg mail package • 2000 acceptance letters = $900.... hmm) and send dejection by regular mail.</p>

<p>Do schools like Rochester (DIII athletics and fantastic academics) send their acceptance letters via FEDEX and their dejection letters via regular mail? Ever since I got that email, I have been thinking about it non-stop. </p>

<p>PLEASE HELP EASE MY CURIOSITY AND EXCITEMENT!</p>

<p>While I don’t know what Rochester in particular does, I do know that when my S was accepted to schools a few years back, two of the schools sent the acceptance packets via FEDEX. I think that you have some good news in your future!</p>

<p>And it was being shipped today… and their Twitter page said they were assembling acceptance letters today (6 - 7 hours ago).</p>

<p>How did you get the email from Fedex? Did you sign up for an account with them?</p>

5

<p>No sign up at all. </p>

<p>Email says - Tendered To Fedex: This shipment is scheduled to be sent on 12/10/14.
Packaging type: FedEx Envelope
Weight: 0.50 lb.
Special handling/Services: Deliver Weekday</p>

<p>But how did fedex know your email address to send you that notification? </p>

7

<p>Not sure. I think the University has my email and I believe I have signed up with FedEX for texting notifications for 2013 Christmas presents :slight_smile: haha.</p>

8

<p>Wait no those texting notifications were from UPS.</p>

<p>If I recall correctly from last year, URochester sends acceptances only via some form of express delivery. Rejections may come via email, check last year’s discussion boards.</p>

<p>I think congrats are on order!</p>

<p>Alright. I will comment on Friday letting you know what the package is. </p>

<p>And MrMom62, yes it is a 2-day service from FedEx. Hopefully. </p>

<p>I got the same message from them and I am super anxious about what it means also! </p>

<p>There is no way they are FedExing rejection notices. A FedEx is the definition of a “fat envelope.” They want to make sure you get it, and that you pay special attention when it arrives. Sounds good!</p>

13

<p>Yes. FedEx did send an acceptance. Thanks guys.</p>

14

<p>Congratulations! Have a wonderful 4 years in Rochester.</p>

<p>Woot! Nice to get on a Friday.</p>

<p>Enjoy the rest of your Senior Year–savor it!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
