When does the Andover package arrive (acceptance and waitlist/reject)?
Acceptances are send via FedEx for delivery by 10:30 on 3/10. I think waitlist/rejections are send via snail mail. You can also access the portal - here is a text from an email they just sent out:

Last year the only notification when my DS was rejected from Andover was the online portal. We received nothing in the US mail.
Thank you! If you’re in the SouthEast would the FedEx still come by 10:30? In my neighborhood the FedEx route comes by at 4:00.
Sorry, RedSoxFan - must have been typing at the same time. Redundant info
No worries @Britmom5 . @Grace567 check http://www.fedex.com/us/services/deliveryoptions.html for the specific s of your zip code. I think Andover sends acceptances as FedEx Priority Overnight that arrives for delivery in most zip codes by 10:30 AM.
Isn’t there a way to check fedex to see if any packages are due to come to your house?
@2schoolsonly: NO.
@sevendad I do not think you can save them from themselves
@LLNYer: BUT I CAN TRY!
I just called fed ex 800 number and they told me a package is on its way for 10:30 delivery! Just gave them my address, name and from where it was coming
@sevendad See I told you, its hopeless. These kids are smart and desperate! Congrats @2schoolsonly!
What if that package is just a box for raisins from Fresno? Or some grapefruit from Tampa?
Wait you can call Fed-Ex? Is that a thing?
called the 800 number
What did you say?
they confirmed it’s coming from phillips academy!
actually they said a label was created but package has not yet been picked up by fedex.
@grace567 I said I wanted to check to see if a pkg was coming in am to my house but don’t have tracking number. They asked for my address and from where it was coming. I said PA, Andover, MA.
