i’d love to chat w u tho!!
Willamette EA decisions just came out via email if anyone else applied there as well. Accepted but his heart is 1000% at Reed.

lmao im in sf too- fedex is so hard to predict here!! i j hope they send out emails asap
oh what a coincidence!! my dad says (idk… i don’t know ANYTHING ABOUT FEDEX!!) that Reed likely shipped them this weekend (which if you go onto fedex and do a reverse search on packages, there is a real, like 80%-90% chance possibility that it will either show up tomorrow or tuesday by ~4:30 pm!
idk… just being REAL hopeful that it’ll come ASAP

We’re also Bay Area … LOL. Why do we think Fedex? I know they did that 2 years ago. I thought last year they used USPS?
because they’ve used it the most in the past: FedEx for nearly all the decision cycles instead of last year? it just seems like the USPS was a yearly fluke because they went back to FedEx in the spring … but i have no idea

my parents just called the admissions office and i have news:
they are mailing them TODAY. HOPEFULLY. Their words. They’re starting to send TODAY. they said one to two business days after (tomorrow, wed, thurs) but if you don’t get anything then they will email the decisions on the 25th…
SOME CONCRETE NEWS FOR YALL!!
Yikes. Yhey will wait until Christmas day to email decisions? That is horrible to have to wait that long, and worse for those not accepted, to hear on Xmas day. UGH.
But thanks for something concrete at last!

I just called them myself. They said nothing had been mailed and their goal was to have people receiving boxes by Christmas and hopefully mail them all out by the end of this week. They said that it’s been a “crazy year” as justification why they aren’t adhering to the “Early December” on their website. Frankly I’ve had about enough myself with this.

this is insane. it is so hard to just sit and wait- i feel like they should just be sending out the emails at this point and have the packages be secondary.

that’s how i feel too, i have to fork over application fees for other schools now since i likely won’t know my decision until after the January 1st deadline.
Maybe if enough people call they’ll do something?

i totally relate. this is absolutely insane and extremely frustrating. i’ve been putting my life on pause in regards to other college applications, and the fact that rejections may be sent out on the 25th is horrible.

I’ve emailed admission in general and my admissions counselor hours ago and they’ve yet to respond. If anyone else gets any clarity on this please please let me know! I’m getting very nervous (as I assume you all are too)

my admissions counselor never responded to any of the email i sent, i always had to email admission@reed.edu directly, i’d also give at least a day for an email response
My admissions counselor got back to me and I’m just going to copy and paste the message below Incase anyone wants to see.
“We will be mailing admission decisions within the next couple of days. I understand how stressful this time of year can be, waiting to hear back from schools in order to weigh applying to more schools. Rest assured, applicants will be hearing from us soon.”

Thank you so much for sharing! Hoping in this week at least some (ideally most) of us will get our decisions!!
