<p>Sometimes UPS 2 day gets there in 1 day. Well, so here we go! Tell the people on the Facebook page to come post over here as well.</p>
<p>Wonder if the Paul Tulane will be mailed in UPS express mail packages, too!</p>
<p>Sorry for any confusion ncbug…just trying to figure out logistics!</p>
<p>Best wishes for all who are waiting!</p>
<p>Son just got his DHS acceptance! We live in coastal Georgia.</p>
<p>If anyone gets the email will they post as well? I checked, but nothing came in the mail today.</p>
<p>And congratulations!</p>
<p>Ncbug. Tracked son’s package. Left Tulane 2/19 at 6:50 pm UPS 2nd day air. That means could be delivered by close of business today and still be on time.</p>
<p>Congrats to your son and you, alicia! I bet he was really pleased.</p>
<p>So does that mean that if I don’t get it today I won’t be getting the DHS?</p>
<p>Son got Paul Tulane Award - came in UPS envelope like the one on Tulane’s blog. Received a black “Tulane” portfolio, a letter, and an informational page. No email. Tulane offered no stats on how many applied, were offered, etc. Prior to this, he was given the Presidential (27k) upon admission, honors invite, etc.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say that until tomorrow, ncbug. They may not have all gone out at the same time. Possible that some were picked up the next day, if they were still assembling the packets.</p>
<p>Justmehere - Oh, that’s great! And that answers the other question about timing. I know it is only the first year, but that would be great if they always kept those coordinated.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the info. What was his reaction?</p>
<p>I can only hope. Did it come with the normal mail or was it delivered separately like a UPS package would be? This is driving me crazy! I know it’s a huge long shot, but I can still hope.</p>
<p>It would be delivered by a UPS driver.</p>
<p>The other thing we don’t know for sure is if all the PTA were allotted. They did say it had the possibility of rolling notification, so until they make some kind of statement we won’t know for sure. I feel confident all the DHS awards went out.</p>

<p>Since the packages weren’t picked up until after 6, I am guessing we will be in limbo until tomorrow evening. Also I think my son’s submission for PTA was more competitive than the DHS.</p>
<p>Good luck to all! Congrats to those who have already received their packages :D</p>
<p>Well it probably won’t get here today then, but maybe I’ll get lucky and it will be tomorrow. </p>
<p>That’s true, but at this point Im sure they have a pretty good idea of who is getting them, right?</p>
<p>skiermom95: How does one find out if a UPS package was mailed by Tulane to your child???</p>
<p>Once you got the package there would be a tracking number on it. Then you can call or go online and track when it was sent.</p>
<p>ncbug19:</p>
<p>which package are you refering to (that would contain tracking info)?</p>
<p>oh okay…but you already have received your student’s package. y’all are just sharing with others …</p>
<p>I was thinking, how do they crack the UPS website to know a package is on its way to them? </p>
<p>sorry…just getting anxious!</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten one yet, so I’m not positive. But I assume the DHS packet is what she was talking about. I know any packages or mail you send certified you have the ability to see where they are at any point and get notification when they arrive somewhere.</p>
