PLEASE POST RESULTS HERE.
We just saw my D’s USPS informed delivery postage via email. It looks like she didn’t get in. According to previous years, Georgetown letters have a postage of 48-50 cents if the student is deferred/waitlisted and 68/70 cents if they are accepted. Please post your postage/results here.
EA decision letters were mailed on 12/12. We saw this on informed delivery as well.
That may not be true. I have read old posts that said there were acceptances even with the lower postage amount. Some have theorized that it is the amount of postage necessary to travel the distance. So those who live on the east coast wouldn’t need as much postage as those who live out west. Good luck!
Where do you live?
Good luck to your D!
How do you use Informed delivery to find out?
I am logged into USPS, but it only has past information. When will tomorrow’s post be uploaded?
@blondeboynj it will show up tomorrow morning. Mine normally shows up around 8:00 am
I almost don’t want to look on Informed Delivery
If anyone needs a format on decision posting, you can use this one. Just remove the ‘a’ below:

Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:
With the new postal rates and last years results combined, the deferrals to RD should be $0.50 and the acceptances $0.65. It would be nice to hear from an acceptance to confirm. The other thread had a deferral @ $0.50.
Nothing showing up in informed delivery for Ohio today.
Mine hasn’t arrived yet but informed delivery shows 65c postage in NY
this is so stressful
Maryland here, my informed delivery is saying $0.65
Not getting the physical letter until this evening though.
Since the website says we get it by the 15th, will it be available on our online portals?
My DD got accepted! We haven’t received the physical letter yet - we live about 1 hour of driving away from GU, so hopefully the letter will be in mail this afternoon. We saw someone posted in Reddit that the decision was also available in the portal, so we checked and there it is!
Providing some info below. Will come back to add more later.

Job/Work Experience: Babysitting throughout my Junior yr consistently for a family once a week, Microsoft Excel programming for an orthopedic firm in town this winter
Volunteer/Community service: My community service is really through my activities (NHS, Student Council, community garden) in which I’ve volunteered a lot of time to. I also volunteered for the Congressional campaign as above mentioned.
Summer Activity: I took a class on Natural Resources in the Global Market at Columbia this summer. I also spent a lot of time doing research for a local exploratory committee for a community leader considering a Commissioners campaign. He chose not to run due to family things, but I put it on my app because it was a lot of time and effort with gathering voter data, working on mapping with Map GIS and more.
Essay: My personal essay was about losing my aunt to suicide while in the 4th grade and the event influencing my discovery of politics as a passion/outlet, in which I have become motivated on healthcare and mental health policy.
Supplements: Special talents essay about my graphic arts skills, my extracurricular essay was talking about learning how to demonstrate leadership through my Model UN activities, and my SFS essay revolved around climate change
Recommendations:
Teacher Rec #1: My AP Enviro teacher, really kind guy who I did a lot of important research projects with and knew my academic commitment
Teacher Rec #2: My sophomore English teacher (yes ik that’s a controversial decision) who is really personable and I have had the most vulnerable and honest conversations out of all my teachers. She helped check my grammar on my essays before writing her rec letter and I think probably highlighted my personality traits. She’s like lowkey my best friend as a teacher so.
Counselor Rec: He’s an uber dry guy but I’ve been the most committed to college with him and he’s seen my brute passion/drive. He also told me he mentioned some personal struggles both academically and at home that he saw me overcome in a really positive way. This one makes me nervous but he said it went well.
