Reed ED Class of 2023

The admitted students webpage still says ‘Congratulations Class of 2022’ so I’m not sure what stage they’re at in the contacting applicants process but then again there’s still 2 more days left ahh so nervous ;;

If you guys have a FedEx account, check it! I just checked mine about 20 mins ago and it said there was an inbound 2lb package from Reed College :slight_smile:

just called FedEx and they said that they didn’t see any inbound packages to my address. Hoping Reed just hasn’t sent mine yet…

would you mind sharing what kind of FedEx account you used/where you found the package info? thanks!

Same on my part, called FedEx, no inbound packages to my address…

I used the FedEx delivery manager service! If it indicates there’s an inbound package you can click on it for more info and it’ll tell you the shipper/where it’s being shipped from. I think there’s also a tab that let’s you see ‘Shipment Facts’ where it shows the weight and dimensions of the package. From what I’ve heard, I think it’ll only show packages shipped after you’ve made your account so if you make an account after they’ve shipped the package already it won’t show up. I was reading last year’s thread and quite a few people called FedEx and were told there were no inbound packages but still ended up getting an acceptance package so don’t give up hope yet! I think there might also be some changes on the Banner Self Service b/c when I checked this morning it told me my estimated cost of attendance and I don’t remember seeing that before. All in all, nothing’s official yet so hang in there and don’t give up! <3

Checked my FedEx Account and no inbound packages came up…welp. Has anyone else checked? I live in WA.

I can log into Banner and see my estimated cost now, too, and I have a package from Reed College expected to be delivered on the 18th.

I can see an estimated cost on the banner as well as something that says my status is an ‘early decision dorm-board student receiving financial aid for the fall-spring semesters’ however in Fed Ex I can’t see any incoming packages:( this is so confusing does anyone with an inbound package have the same ‘status’ ?

My parents made a FedEx account last night to find a 2lb box on its way from Reed!! Has anyone gotten any emails from them?

Nope, haven’t received any emails on my end. For those who can see their estimated cost of attendance, can you also see your award package? Mine still says no award info available yet

Me neither. I received an email from DHL about Reed’s package, but I don’t see any email from Reed or any information updated in the portal. The “Congratulations” webpage is still showing class of 2022.

my youngest daughter applied to Reed this year as did my two daughters in prior years. I assure you, based on experience in prior years, that the box does not always show in the Fed Ex tool. If it does, congrats! If not, don’t read anything into it! Without the Fed Ex notifications, the box is the exciting surprise that Reed intended.

@craZZprocess Does receiving the box mean I am definitely admitted? Is there any possibility that there is nothing but a rejection letter in the package?

Has anyone actually received their package yet?

I live close to college so I got my box yesterday!! lots of confetti I’m SUPER EXCITED!!!

Does your Banner-Self Service say anything yet about your aid?

is anyone else .03 seconds away from an aneurysm because of anxiety? I certainly am

Mhmm

box received this morning in MN!! I never saw the box on Fed Ex but the updates on the banner were a clue
