@CADREAMIN what day would New Jersey packages arrive?
@camcam2022 @sandiegodad2017
We’re in the Los Angeles area. We’re not signed up for USPS informed delivery.
Issue is they have more overqualified kids. Plenty of super high GPA 4.5+ 34 ACT types, with 10+ APs and a great bio don’t get a package. About 3000 of them as a matter of fact aren’t even admitted. Not enough room or scholarships! But they will try to get a top top kid if they can!
Most New Jersey will be tomorrow, but you can have one person in NYC get it, but in the next boroughs not get it till the third day. Same with New Jersey.
Try this with your zip:
Congrats @vhsdad and @joonaconda
Remember some Pres get bumped up - prepare for this interview!
@CADREAMIN What day would South Carolina packages likely arrive?
I live in the D.C. metro area. What day would I receive the package if I were to receive a scholarship(not likely)?
Hey Guys, check this map out and see if you are in 2 or 3 day zone.

But major metro areas (including DC should be tomorrow). South Carolina depends if near metro center or rural. I have seen the vast vast majority of the people get it tomorrow. But that means some will get it Friday too!
But WARNING - the post office is not always as predictable as we would like. Some end up so much later than expected, so just know the portal updates Thurs night after midnight and all will be revealed then.
Midnight PST?
Yes 12:15-12:30 am PST Friday morning, Thursday night. I will write this at least 25 more times.
Also, they don’t update all at once. They are USC not IBM, can take a couple to a few hours.
So I am in Oregon, and I went to the link you posted (https://www.usps.com/priority-mail/map/) It said I am a 1 day zone. Does that mean it will arrive today or tommorrow? I guess I am confused as to what it is 1 or 2 or 3 days from? @CADREAMIN
Thank you!!
Ya, no way Oregon would get it today, you would be with Norcal tomorrow. Seattle too. But if over in a Bremerton kind of location, it could be third day.
I know one kid received all the acceptance letter from colleges he applied, except USC. MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, UPENN, etc. So overqualified does exist.
Really folks, it is just people in LA basin today, and not all around LA either. There will be holes filled tomorrow.
Okay, Thank you!!
And no offense or implications to your friend intended whatsoever, but I know kids who totally make up their acceptances. Unless it is you, no one knows what really happened. Not even Scully or Mulder.
if you don’t get the scholarship, then you don’t get anything in the mail right? just a portal update?
Correct.
I live like an hour (50 or so miles) north of LA; do you think if I had a package coming it would arrive today? Just want to know whether I need to keep being stressed out all day tmrw if nothing comes today or if there would be no point stressing anymore lol
