***Duke Class of 2021 Discussion Thread***

@johonmilla Go to USPS priority mail map on google and it’ll tell you

So if ur portal opens up that is good and if it doesn’t open up then that is bad?

Georgetown’s board was looking into my USPS mail too. Everyone was mailed a letter (accepted, waitlisted and rejections) but only some people could see a letter was arriving on my USPS. So not being able to view a letter or piece of mail does not necessarily indicate no packages are arriving.

I’m spending the weekend at Duke (traveling tomorrow). They bought me a plane ticket and everything for the BSA. It would suck not being admitted and having to spend an entire 4 days on campus :confused: 2 more hours!!!

I was accepted to Georgetown and I actually received my letter on the day they said admissions would be announced. I guess for Duke they release decisions online first then send physical mail??? I live in NYC though

Hopefully I don’t get tripped by the admissions committee @Grayson Allen

Time to start watching a movie. We will be done by the time decisions are out. Netflix, here I come!

@ChelseaNicole, you are admitted for sure. Have you checked myUSPS for your residence?

how do internationals check whether there is a mail coming or not?

Is myUSPS something you have an account for?

I don’t know why I am even worried. I was wait listed to G’Town so this seems pointless. However the essays were totally different Georgetown doesn’t use the common ap. So @ChelseaNicole I am really pulling for you to get accepted at Duke and then I can have your spot at Georgetown. :wink:

^ waitlisted at Gtown too…but its a completely different application and different people reading it…so i wouldn’t say its “pointless”…

@ChelseaNicole, here is sign up page: https://reg.usps.com/entreg/RegistrationAction_input

You would use your parents info.

@ChelseaNicole yes, you create a free account for myUSPS. Going through the thread, I saw some people also recommending a FedEx accounting. However, with both of these so have seen some suggestions online that you won’t be notified of packages sent before your account was created. Also, on this thread someone said myUSPS only tells you about packages scheduled to be delivered today. So if you see no packages scheduled for delivery, don’t worry.

@ChelseaNicole, might be best for your parents to setup. Then again, we only have 1 hour and 10 minutes to wait.

Anybody nervous for Ivy decisions tomorrow?

YESSS I applied only to Princeton and I’m scared

It’s 4 in the morning, here in Bangladesh. Couldn’t sleep knowing decisions would be out sometime while I’m sleeping.
