International Student Decision

<p>Hi, everyone!</p>

<p>I am an international applicant to Hotchkiss, Choate, and Andover. I am aware that Hotchkiss and Choate post their decisions online, but I don't know how Andover delivers the news. I received an email yesterday from Hotchkiss regarding my online username and password for decisions. The email also indicated that I will receive regular mail as well.</p>

<p>I've read on this site that accepted students are sent FedEx (express mail) packages. Does this policy apply to international students? </p>

<p>I thank you all in advance for your response(s)! :-)</p>

<p>I want to know too!</p>

<p>Hello! Are you an international student as well?</p>

<p>A couple of years back as an int’l applicant, DS was able to access his decision results online for the schools that send snail-mail decisions. He also received a hardcopy letter in the mail a while afterward.</p>

<p>He did not, however, receive the merchandise “goodies” (i.e. T-shirts, M&M’s, etc). I suppose it’s because mailing stuff overseas is expensive, and the items are subject to customs duties & import tariffs.</p>

<p>@GMTplus7 Thanks for the information! If you don’t mind me asking, what country are you from and where did your DS get accepted at?</p>

<p>@GMTplus7: Looking at your CC name, I would guess he’s from Vietnam or Thailand or Indonesia. Sorry since I’m new, what does DS stand for? … Son?</p>

<p>@hamburger10 I guessed so too, but I’m not sure which country. We’re in the same time zone after all! DS stands for ‘dear son’.</p>

<p>Thanks pingu21198. Yes! And how do you know I’m in this time zone pingu21198 :slight_smile: Just curious!:)</p>

<p>@hamburger110 I meant to say that I’m in the same time zone @GMTplus7 was in. :-)</p>

<p>And now you know I’m also in the same :)</p>
