@LW informed delivery sends notification of mail that is scheduled to be delivered on that particular day only as far as I know. I get an email early AM and later on it usually shows up in the mailbox. It’s not perfect though and I’ve never been notified of a package through it.
So basically if a white envelope is coming through usps, assume rejection?
PORTAL UPDATE
After midnight tonight, so Sunday morning Pacific Standard Time (PST). Last couple years they started updating between midnight and 1am - that’s when it starts and it takes awhile. many post within a couple hours, but it sputters along for several more hours - brutal for some.
@valleybound you have great credentials…all the best
So the decisions are out today?
@CADREAMIN @WWWard I’ve been quietly following this thread for a while now. We are in a 2-day zone in Westchester County, NY (north of NYC) and had nothing in our mail today, so it’s going to be a “portal moment” for us tomorrow morning EST. Still holding out a glimmer of hope, but the empty mailbox isn’t a good sign…
USC SCA is the absolute #1 choice of my S, but he’s a blessed kid with other acceptances and still waiting on USC and 2 other schools. I just wanted to thank you for all that you both have done to answer questions and soothe the stress for parents and the kids applying. You’re both kind and generous folks. Thank you!
To everyone waiting: Remember, there are many paths to the same destination. This is our third S going through the crazy college process–we’ve seen it all. #1 & #2 ended up where they were meant to be, and you will, too. 
Acceptances and denials don’t define you: Only you can define yourself. Wherever you go, make it your home, be grateful, and reach for the stars–get involved and enjoy this special time to learn and grow! Your future is bright! Best of luck!
Btw I live in Southern California
@oregonkiddo Will do…you please let us know too.
Btw I live in Southern California
I live in Connecticut when should I expect mail?
@oregonkiddo our mail usually shows up after 11am…so over an hour to go…at the very least
To everyone who saw their rejections arriving in Socal, what time did you check?
Nothing today in Fairfield County, CT.
Anyone from the Bay Area received anything?
@polololo nope still waiting by my window right now for the mail
doesn’t our mail come around 4pm though? it wouldn’t come earlier than that haha @stargirl888
i think mine comes before 4 @polololo
@monstermama Thank you for the sweet words! I wish your son well and not giving up until the portal update. As you know @WWWard’s daughter didn’t get the package until a couple days after portal update (it was late!!!) but it is so hard to keep hanging on in this process, it is exhausting and a lot of mental time is invested (and wasted if someone doesn’t get in). So will keep fingers crossed but nice of you to say something as a lot of people do understandably move on once they know their fate. Maybe we will cross on the parents forum, that can be fun over there.
Bay Area mail is just starting to arrive in many homes and some don’t get it until the afternoon. But yes, some have reported getting package or letter.
@beantownschool, thank you for the information. guess we will just wait for the moment of decision to be announced thru portal tomorrow. good luck to everyone and I agree to @monstermama, you are defined only by who you are, not by decisions made from others.
