@legend764 No clue. In the past, people started getting letters a couple days before the decision was posted online.
Yes, my S got in- engineering. No FA or merit info in his packet. However, this was a reach for him so we were not expecting merit. So he isn’t necessary a good marker for that 
did you get a letter in the mail? also are you located close to the school?
Are you guys bay area residents?
Yes, we live 10 miles from Santa Clara and the packet came in the regular mail (USPS) today.
The letter was dated 12/14 and postmarked yesterday as well.
This is getting exciting! Congrats to your son, @camomof3 !
Re: FA packages - I believe that those go out about a week or so after decisions.
Thank you msdarcy
I’m just hoping that they post it online today by 4 haha
I live 20 minutes away from SCU and I’m on my way home! So nervous (:
I got in, so excited, everyone check your portal, good luck to all!!!
@biggiek congrats!! did you find out on the portal??
Anyone else check the portal?
Yes I am so excited
Oh…did emails go out with packet @camomof3?
Congratulations @biggiek
No one else checked their portal? I am waiting for my son so he can check his.
does it say accepted on the portal? Mine is just the same as it was before.
No idea about email/portal- S opened his packet (it said congrats on cover so I already knew before he got home) and I didn’t ask any more questions. Really trying to be more hands off with this kid
My portal is still the same
I live in Santa Clara, but my mail man came at 12:45 and already delivered mail:( no letter yet
Yeah it says congratulations in big letters, I applied early action and my act is 21 and my weighted gpa is 3.3 so I was pretty confident I was going to get in.
