Seems like there is no thread for EA applicants. Does anyone know when the magic boxes will start arriving?
I called on Saturday to try and find out, but all they would tell me is the end of January.
Good to know @jeanduck. Wish we could speed up time, but I suppose we’ll know soon enough!
on all their websites and all the people I’ve emailed and called they only told me late january or end of january but im getting anxious cuz i need a date to mark off and prepare mentally
Agh I hope they start mailing out decisions soon. Do they not put results on the portal at all? Is it just mail?
for international students it’s email. For domestic applicants it’s mail only.
Does anyone know if last years packages showed up on the USPS Informed Delivery
They ship acceptance packages through Fedex. You can make an account and track packages, but it doesn’t always work. Rejection letters come through USPS.
Would someone mind explaining to me how the Fedex tracking thing works? I made an account but I don’t know what to do now. I’m so nervous, it’s killing me knowing the decisions could show up any day now!!
I applied EA as well, I’m just excited to find out since I’ve already been accepted to a different school which I love but I’d love to have Reed as an option…I’ve seen that in past years people find out January 25th but I didn’t get anything today-do letters and packages arrive on the same day?
@lydsminnesota Where’d you see people have found out Jan. 25th? I’ve been trawling the web for days and haven’t had any luck! Also–I’ve read rejection letters are sent out before the packages, and the packages are shipped 2-day business.
@rameybean I scrolled quite a ways back in some Reed forums here on CC, but that information was from around 2009-2012 when decisions were just posted online I believe…but I’m hoping we’ll find out soon, since if decisions were to be sent out closer to the 30th or 31st maybe they would’ve put Feb. 1st as the notification date? Thanks for the info on letters! So maybe I’m actually hoping to hear later rather than sooner haha
my friend called yesterday and they said that the packages won’t be postmarked until the 31st
It’s a relief knowing that for sure! Fingers crossed to get packages/letters by February 5th :-S
Ahh! I’m going to be away over next weekend, if I don’t get it before the 2nd then I’ll have to wait until the 6th or later…
Also I live in New England so I’ll have a grand old time waiting to find out the decision. Anyone else think it’s going to take their package forever to come?
I live in Texas and one of the ED applicants from TX didn’t get their package until 5 DAYS after they shipped it.
@jeanduck yikes! Oh well…
Any news? Anyone get anything yet?
Has anybody heard anything back yet?
no but today’s mail hasn’t arrived yet
