Class of 2022 RD Discussion Thread

@collegesevant11 PST? Don’t results usually come out on the EST timezone? And did you find out what time? I’m officially freaking out too :open_mouth:

@IntApp2022 EST timezone is for the eastern US but WashU is in the midwest where PST timezone is used. PST is 3 hours behind EST right now.

Missouri is in the Central Time Zone, not Pacific. (CST)

@alizarin Oh yes! Sorry, my bad!

So 5 pm CST?

im so nervous today with washu and williams decisions and i have my dana farber summer internship interview today too

@linhcinders Good luck with your interview! Btw, your username is from the Lunar Chronicles, right?

I have a package coming from Saint Louis, MO, according to my USPS Informed Delivery! I don’t know anyone from Missouri, so I’m 99% sure that it’s the acceptance letter!

Wow that’s great! Congratulations @jksdjksd11 :slight_smile:

Thank you! Good luck to everyone!

@IntApp2022 thanks and yes it is, its my one of my favorite series!

@linhcinders I really enjoyed it as well!

WashU is one hour behind EST and two hours ahead of PST. A student reported earlier on this thread that they usually release approximately 4:15 to 4:30pm (CST)= about 5:30pm (EST) or 2:30pm (PST). It seems to me that 5pm (CST) might make more sense to be sure most students on the West Coast are finished with school.

In any case, probably going to be between 4:15pm and 5pm (CST) today. Also makes sense since the staff can just go home and not have to take calls :-). Good luck to all!

So are we sure the decisions are coming out today?

@jksdjksd11 If you don’t mind me asking, are you from MO? Maybe that’s why your package is coming so early?

Do we have to set up a USPS account connected to the email address we applied with to see if a package was sent?

@bluedevil8130 No USPS Informed Delivery is by your mailing address. This service will notify you of any mail coming to anyone in that household.

@ARIVERA1 But please note the service from USPS Informed Delivery does not always catch everything. So no one should panic if a package does not show up on the service.

@bluedevil8130, too late probably to set up usps today since your first notification would likely be tomorrow AFTER the results post on portal this afternoon, assuming they post this afternoon.

@jksdjksd11, are you in a one day delivery zone from St. Louis? That would explain why you might be getting a letter vs. others farther away, such as the West Coast, parts of the South, rural areas… We are in Atlanta and have no letter coming today, according to USPS notification, but I do not think it means anything one way or the other. Still hopeful for admission.

Yeah, USPS is sometimes wrong. I literally had an entire PACKAGE from Smith and it didn’t even come up on my informed delivery. Also, some people on here said they got their stuff later, so I wouldn’t put too much stock in it.
