Thank you, same to you!

My son got his acceptance email as well (yay!) today. We are US nationals currently located overseas so not sure if a box will come, but his letter indicates that there will be an admission packet coming through regular mail. Excited for him, and wishing the best to everyone who wants to go to Reed.

Son applied EA, not ED.

Indeed, indeed. Congrats.

Our daughter was accepted today too!! ED application and package apparently is still in the mail.

Congratulations to all and fingers crossed to those who have been deferred.

Waitlisted?

So itā€™s possible your package is there despite the lack of update on Fedex Manager, so this is good news.
I agree, though, it seems strange for EA applicants (who werenā€™t supposed to hear until Feb 1) to hear before ED applicants. Something may have gone awry in the office. The pic of the boxes on their IG- someone asked if this was for ED or EA, and they replied ā€œEDā€ā€¦ so there may be some error.
Were any of the people on this thread that received their package ED applicants?

Oh I just read up- congrats!

Possibly there was a package waiting this whole time but weā€™ve been away.

Happy Holidays to all!

Did you get in?

Got my wait list email too, Iā€™m international student and Iā€™m accepting the wait list offer; as I wait for my other schools!

has anyone else not been emailed/notified of anything else yet? iā€™m getting pretty nervous since i attended reedā€™s senior scholars program and they said something about how they found us all to be competitive applicants etc etc.

My son (applied EA in late October) hasnā€™t heard anything via email or the portal. Our fed ex manager says that a label was created on 12/16 but no update on shipping or anything. We called admissions and they couldnā€™t give us any additional information. Not sure why Reed doesnā€™t notify all ED on the same day and all EA on the same day?

For those for whom this might represent new information, Reedā€™s admission office has had issues in recent years:

Did you ever get a box or just an acceptance email? Our fed ex manager seems to be stuck on ā€œpendingā€ since 12/16

also as a sidenote: at the senior scholars thing i attended, a couple admissions counselors said that they were using the postal service to ship boxes, not fedex. however some ppl on the thread have apparently tracked their acceptance box on fedex? kind of weird.

Never received a box (I am traveling right now so I may have, but our housesitter hasnā€™t said anything and we asked her to), the delivery manager hasnā€™t updated from pending since the 15th, and when I look at the tracking history the label was created on the 10th but nothing else. I applied ED so I would assume however that you are also accepted and the time ranged are different. A ton of people got a box before i even got the email.

Same here. Maybe FedEx is having issues in some places because of the holidays.

I think itā€™s more likely that Reed hasnā€™t shipped the packages yet, just created labels, I bet they go out in the next few days.
