I think it is by region. No one who has posted as from Illinois has received the email.
There are apps for UPS, FedEx and USPS that will all tell you if there is a package (with tracking) on the way to your house. All three are free to set up accounts. The UPS app will even push notifications.
As stated earlier, WASHU applicants did in fact know if they were accepted or rejected a day in advance based on whether or not they would receive a package (which one can see by making a My Choice UPS account), however, this does not have to apply to other colleges.
got an email-florida
got mine at 9:15 NYC
Haven’t gotten mine, and I’m in Indiana
I’m in Florida and I also got the email
Received the email at 10:07 - P in Maryland
@savvyitup Haha that is actually what I’m using right now. The only way I’ve gotten mine to reboot fully was to close it, plug it in to the power cord, then open and hold down the power button for like a solid minute
It’s funny, because if we’re all freaking out about the email now, what does that say about what will happen when actual decisions are released? 
What does the email tell us?
Decisions are out Wednesday at 5:30 CDT.
still no email…but i’m not too worried. I’m more worried about the decisions!
No email either yet, from MI
When Vanderbilt can’t even handle sending out emails to let applicants know when they’re getting their decision
So I also don’t have my email yet but I’m worried about a more general issue with my email. When Boston University released their decisions I was never notified, and I never got a few minor emails about scholarships either. Has anyone else had this problem? I’m from Illinois btw
