Hi! My son applied to Reed EA and just found out today that he was accepted - he received a box via FedEx and is so excited! I hadn’t heard of any EA decisions so we were really surprised.

Hi - was that comment made by admissions specific to international applicants, or for all EA ? Asking as it seems someone else who is EA got the package already. Thanks and best of luck to you.
Congrats @Kraspe - did your son receive an email as well ?

Congrats! Did you get email as well ? I am asking as we are overseas so not sure if notifications are different for domestic and international applicants.
No email. Just a FedEx package! And nothing about financial aid yet. Assuming that comes later.
Thanks. Hopefully we hear something before the holidays. Wondering if the notification is based on date they received application - first in/first out ? or maybe the strongest applications are notified first ?
My EA kid got her box today, too (we’re in California). Thrilling!

Anyone else see a delivery scheduled on fed ex delivery manager but with no update? My fed ex delivery manager shows a label created on 12/16 from Reed to my son but no update since then.
Same here
What is going on? My son applied ED and he hasn’t heard yea or nay, no updates from the school. That is unbelievable that they sending out EA’s before notifying the ED’s. ED’s were originally supposed to be out by December 15th.

website says December, which likely means before Break. There is nothing on this page about the 15th though I think there was something on another one, but this is the page you should go by: First-year Applicants - Admission - Reed College
Linda - I agree. Our child is waiting for ED1 too and no news yet. They called yesterday and Reed Admissions shared that they will all be informed by the end of December on the portal.
I personally don’t understand why EA applicants might find out before ED1 applicants. You are not alone here.
I’m a student applying ED1 too. And Fedex says there is a package that is “label created” since 10th. And I’m waiting for the package to be shipped or any message from Reed for weeks. It is really stressful waiting their decisions especially after 15th, which should be the day we all get the decision. I asked the admission, they said they couldn’t tell me the decision but they will be sent by mail in the coming week. And… that’s all I got as a student then…

No email - no change in portal, just FedEx. Really nice touch!
My son submitted his on the last day - he took time with his supplemental email
Supplemental essay!
Where do you see if a label was created if you don’t have a tracking number for fedex manager? Thanks
My daughter applied EA, not ED, but received a Fedex package today with Congratulations on the side … any idea what this means???
