@roonilwazlib100 good luck with Cal! You know ucsd just keeps going up on the rankings. We met a Cal student who is graduating this year (biochem) and going to ucsd for graduate school. I have a feeling you will be fine wherever you go. 
Spring is not because of numbersā¦A girl and a guy from my school got spring last year. Both had GPAās above 3.7 and one of them got a 33 ACT and the other 32ā¦honestly seems like thereās no science behind it
@trynabeUSCbound - I just started a thread today on TTP - it includes info and a link to last years thread where there is lots of good info. I encourage you and other TTP folks to discuss it over there when you guys/gals want to consider it/share thoughts - as things get lost in this giant results thread.
btw - I just quoted you there too! Thanks for that post - we always wondered if everyone got in! If you have a chance to paste that wording in about TTPers getting accepted, would love to see it.
Absolutely @sambar99 Couldnāt agree with you more.
Anyone heard from Kansas area??
do you guys know when international students are going to receive the box? (considering they were accepted of course haha)
Thank you @soulpup for sharing. It will really come down to whether there is a Financial Aid offer in addition to NMF.
@nduclaunc not sure if someone has already answered this but the portal will update at midnight tonight PST; as for when you should expect mail, Iād check the usps priority mail zone map, which will show you if youāre in a 1-day or 2-day (idk if thereās a 3-day) zone.

General Comments/Advice/Hindsight:
===============
Might be better to just set an alarm and wake up to check since it is after 3am in NYC - remember they posted them at 12:10am last year - and that is what the time prediction has been based on. But they are in charge. So hopefully they will post just after midnight again, but there will be a lot of sleepy kids around tomorrow if it is delayed to 5 or 6am. Ya never know. They commit to by noon Sunday, but it has been the wee hours of the morning consistently. Just after midnight last two years for those who need data.
any IYA Academy acceptances?
