Hi! Does anybody know how international students are getting their notifications? I spoke with the admissions office and they said via email but on this thread, some international people have said that they have a package on the way. Can anybody clear this for me? please and thank you.
A worried/anxious student.
Congratulations to all accepted! If an aid award is given, would it necessarily be in the congrats box that arrived yesterday? How and when does Reed notify if a need based aid award is given? Its great to be accepted but choosing Reed without ANY aid might be…Rough!!! Hoping its a separate letter or change in status on the portal!
@abbiebrs Hi! From what I understand the decision for International students would be sent via e-mail. The accepted students should also receive a package (not a box, since it’s easier to ship) containing the acceptance letter amongst other goodies. The package should be mailed through DHL, as that’s the company that I received notification from, being an International student myself.
It is never officially stated whether rejected International students would still receive a mailed package. Logically I think it’s unlikely. But still…
@RobertoL So as an international who has not received any notification of a package from DHL, it is fair to say that I was rejected right?
Starting to feel the same, but not international. No box, no fed ex notification, no email, no portal update. Do I assume rejection at this point?
as an intl that doesn’t live in a secular country this whole holy week holiday is killing my nerves. even if i could find out somehow through fedex or dhl i can’t because everything is closed☹️
@Mabelhank Same for me. I’m not sure what what to hope for anymore.
does anyone know if/when portals will be updated? have heard nothing (New England resident/FedEx doesn’t show any deliveries for me)
@otrastudying They should be uploaded by the end of tomorrow.
awesome, thank you!!
@rickhardon0610 end of tomorrow? Aren’t they supposed to be April 1st at 7:00 eastern time?
I got a travel stipend in my acceptance package. Anyone know how this works? How many students do they award it to?
@prestigiousfox Where your from?
@abbiebrs Yeah April 1st but I don’t know the exact time.
@friedburger Illinois
@prestigiousfox are you a URM? i think Reed gives travel stipends to admitted minority students (https://www.reed.edu/apply/visit/multicultural-programs.html)
@sublemon nope I’m high-income and Asian. Was it a mistake maybe?
Did you apply RD?
Hey have you heard back? I live in San Diego and I haven’t got anything yet/
How do you know if you have a box coming on the way
