When will e-mails/letters come if I'm in China?

Prep School Admissions

<p>I'm really anxious to know when they'll come, so that I know when to check... (and so that I won't be wasting a whole afternoon on March 10th refreshing my e-mail page waiting for an e-mail that is not going to come until March 11th)</p>

<p>But does anyone know the exact time that it'll be in my inbox? (the emails) I might stay up =P
Otherwise, I'll check first thing in the morning on March 11th.</p>

<p>As for the letters.. I'm pretty sure those will be at least few days late. D: The post-delivery here is awful... Choate sent a viewbook sometime in November after I submitted the inquiry, and for some strange reason, I didn't find it until last week (that's 2 or 3 months late!). So I'm really worried now.</p>

<p>PS: China is GMT +8.</p>

<p>Depends on the school. A lot of the schools wait till 3 pm Eastern Time so all of the kids are out of school, but some schools post at like 6 am on March 10th, which is GMT-5, so it would be like 7 in the evening China time. There’s a whole forum up on how schools notify acceptances, if you’d want to check it out. I think they mention China there too. Good Luck!</p>

<p>I remember waking up at 3am to check my email, and then again at 7 to find the rest.</p>

<p>My parents woke me up at about 6 am with decisions from most of the schools.</p>

<p>Did you wake up that early on March 10th or March 11th? (same question as Craysian…)</p>

<p>Just type in China, or acceptance packages or something related in the Forum search bar. I don’t think I’m sure what exactly it was… but my hunch is it will probably arrive on the 11th or a few days after. You’d probably get the email first though. But Andover does snail-mail only.</p>
