I’m also international Bye to my weekend of relax.
@Biogirl1998 How did you find that on FedEx? Their website is so confusing
Well I got rejected. Called FedEx, there’s no package coming. Oh well I guess.
Last year they were mailed out in batches, don’t lose hope just yet.
@ck9817 and @Biogirl1998 , when you get the chance, can you post your stats? And anyone else who gets a box/gets a notification from FedEx saying a box is coming. The format from the OP is:

My Son received the “Congratulations” Epic box today via Fed Ex. We live right here in Portland. Hooray!!
People who got their epic box: Did you apply for financial aid? Does it say anything about when awards would be available?
Sorry for all of the questions haha
@Fangirl1999 I think I applied but no way did I get any.
Son received the box. Nothing about fin aid yet.
Did anyone find out when they’re sending out rejections?
I applied last year to Reed RD(hell, I even made the thread). I can tell you that the whole FedEx quirk that was found is a pretty legit indicator if you’ve been accepted or not. It’s extremely anti-climatic, I know but meh. Unfortunately I wasn’t accepted but have since taken two semesters at a local CC in hopes of bumping up my GPA to get into an even better school!
Good luck to everyone here with any of their choices.
edit: I can confirm that international students do receive rejections via email. I was considered one at the time and got mine through email.

If any of you want to follow last year’s journey up until the point where we received our own decisions. An adventure it was hahaha
Did anyone in California receive the box yet?
Has anyone from the East Coast seen anything on FedEx?
So, no international got rejection e-mail yet?
Just received my epic box—Michigan
so if my box hasn’t shipped should I be worried? some have arrived in state (and much farther places) but no word yet…
Box just arrived for daughter in GA – very impressive way to notify!
Does anyone know how long till financial aid is released as well?
