Where are you? Stats?


APS. 1580 SAT, 4.0 unweighted GPA, 11 APs by graduation, decent ECs, but nothing crazy.

Informed delivery through USPS. We get a picture of our mail every morning.

Some people sign up to receive a daily early morning email from USPS with what we can expect in the mail later that day - they provide snapshots of letters/postcards, as well as number of packages (but sometimes USPS does not list everything - I don't think they always list international packages accurately, for example). For me it's a way to check whether any packages get lost on route, as we've had mail theft in our neighborhood.

Congrats! And don't blame it on the mail, the postcards come as they review the apps. Only sure acceptances in the first batches they happen to review get the postcard so others shouldn't worry if they don't get it. They may just be later in the review pile.


Thank you. I'll lay off USPS. 😁

Congrats to those who got a postcard! That has to be so exciting (more schools should do that!)

A likely letter. Our nephew received one two years ago and he got an acceptance a few weeks later.

People are already hearing on this?


Yes, email received this week, but it is possible they are rolling. Two weeks from date of receipt to submit essay and video.
