@TheStig2 The Exeter decision videos used to give me so many happy feelings, but when we’re this close to M10, watching one makes me want to cry. I wanna see the new one for this year in my email! :((

442

Guys I am gonna sound very dumb but what is M10 (March 10?) and what is it’s significance?

443

Holy moly—102 notifications! This thread got really big.

You know, everything seems so surreal. It only seemed like yesterday that I was sweating about my SSATs.

444

BTW, I created a playlist of inspirational/energizing(ish) songs for tomorrow and M10!

Everyone can add songs as they see fit! We might as well distract ourselves with some music. :stuck_out_tongue:

@notvaledictorian M10 is when a majority of prep high schools send out their admission results.

446

I’m not applying this year but I wish the best of luck to all applicants tomorrow! :slight_smile:

447

I’m going to school, and when I get back the countdown begins…it’s so surreal!

448

and so it begins…down to hours now

449

Coming back into this thread just to say that in 24 hours I will know from 3/5 schools…

450

To all who hope for Andover admissions: our FedEx package that was sent yesterday for M10 delivery was NOT from Andover! It was NOT from Andover. It was from another school in MA. So relax! I hope you hear good news tomorrow. Enjoy your day the best you can!

451

@GoatMama did you just hear that great big sigh of relief? Thanks for letting us know! :x

452

@AppleNotFar I heard I need to get off CC and drag my old self to work. It’s ridiculous the amount of time I spend on this board. I’d be embarrassed to tell my kid…

453

LOL @GoatMama ! I feel the same way :))

454

Andover sends all it’s decisions on M9 for overnight shipping as a tradition, so I believe (which means don’t quote me on this) if you’ve been admitted you’ll get the notification about your admissions package tonight, the latest.

455

Is there a way to check any packages on fedex without entering in a credit card info? My parents aren’t ok with giving their credit card info to fedex (just in case they charge them)

456

How about Lawrenceville? I heard that Choate and the Hill do not send the packages.

457

Nothing is showed on my Fedex, UPS and USPS delivery notification pages. Feeling down.

458

Is there a way to check any packages on fedex without entering in a credit card info?

459

For those of us who registered for FedEx, etc. (although extremely grateful to the well intended @GoatMama), it’s just adding one more dimension of crazy … why isn’t there a package?!$!&&! why is there no package notification?!$&$?!! I’m stalking UPS and Fedex like a crazed jilted girlfriend! Not sure if it’s worth it - if you can’t register, maybe it’s okay @Ananymousia.

no packages for me - hoping my schools don’t do this
