<p>I think international decisions are FedExed, so it doesn’t take too long.</p>
<p>Mail from America to me takes 3 weeks. By the time I receive my Carleton decision on regular mail, it’ll probably be too late to make a reply lol xD So I guess they’ve figured it all out and we will be getting e-mail as well. Although I’d love to know my decisions from at least one college through regular mail though, rather than opening e-mails, it’s much more classy and exciting :D</p>
<p>The international decisions haven’t been emailed in the last couple of years – they just use express mail, so you should get the decision on time, and you can use email for a preliminary reply, to make sure that they have you down as attending. You could then fax/mail your response.</p>
<p>The blog entry has a follow-up comment dated 19 March and the admissions office blogger said he was going to find out if international applicants are going to get an e-mail. So check back there to find out from the horse’s mouth, so to speak.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if Carleton sends financial aid info with acceptance letters?</p>
<p>If all required forms were received in time the financial aid award will be included in the acceptance package.</p>
<p>Oh, that’s a welcome change!</p>
<p>Almost time! [Carleton</a> College: Admissions: Admissions Office Blog: The Waiting Game](<a href=“http://apps.carleton.edu/admissions/office_blog/?story_id=719462]Carleton”>http://apps.carleton.edu/admissions/office_blog/?story_id=719462)</p>
<p>Honestly. This is so tantalizing. I thought it would have come today. Now for today. Productivity levels for me have dropped to near zero.</p>
<p>My Fedex application tracking says that the package weighs 0.5 kgs. Does anyone know if that means accepted or rejected??</p>
<p>.5 kgs (1.1 pounds) would be a very heavy rejection letter so I’m going out on a limb and saying it is good news.</p>
<p>suhast, I like those sleuthing skills! lol</p>
<p>How did you find your tracking number?</p>
<p>Do just international students have a fedex tracking number?</p>
<p>Lol thanks Youdon’tsay! @ Sara12 and Kimathi: I received a mail from Fedex saying that a tracking update for my package was requested by a member of the admissions committee. If you guys didn’t receive any mail about this then I’m guessing its just for international students.</p>
<p>Carleton has said in their admissions blog that they send their acceptances by USPS, so the FedEx packages are surely just for international students.</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone! I think some of you might be finding out TODAY!</p>
<p>hey suhast, may i know when did you receive the email from Fedex?</p>
<p>Well I am an international student so does this mean my package has not been sent yet? :(</p>
<p>Either that…or you’re getting a FedEx letter and it’s not being tracked. Gulp. Maybe international applicants who didn’t get an e-mail from FedEx just learned their fate. Then again, maybe they didn’t…but I strongly doubt that the applicants who got a FedEx e-mail are about to receive rejection letters and the fact that some applicants didn’t get a FedEx e-mail only reinforces that hunch.</p>
<p>I just received my FedEx e-mail a few minutes ago, so don’t dispair if you’re an international still waiting!</p>
<p>There’ probably a lot more (paper)work with the FedEx’ed packages, so it’ll take them a while to get them all sent.</p>
