@Britmom5 I have no notifications. I have used the UPS site forever, but used the conversation to go ahead and set up the USPS and FedEx systems for future reference. I probably should have waited as now it is like the Tell-tale Heart…the notification spreadsheet suggests USPS priority mail from Hotchkiss will arrive on M10. Does priority mail automatically mean tracking via the myusps.com system or is it just a postage code? We show no packages scheduled for delivery. 1-800-BANANAS.
@williegun - curious, are you a legacy candidate at the school from which you received the call?
Yes and not our first choice.
Got it. I think the WL pre-call for legacies is common practice. Rare if ever for non-legacy.
Priority mail from Hotchkiss sounds like good news, @Blackbeard.
Let me clarify because I think I was not clear before…The notification spreadsheet at the beginning of this thread suggests priority mail from Hotchkiss. The Blackbeard USPS account currently shows no imminent deliveries. Is this telling me anything? I have no idea, but it is at. Ost no news and not good news…if anyone else is waiting on Hotchkiss and shows a USPS package from the, arriving tomorrow on their myusps.com account, then the negative result would be informative.
@blackbeard: last year we did receive a priority mail package from Hotchkiss on M10. However it was stamped with a Pitney Bowes machine. No tracking number applied.
So the online USPS service probably will not help.
@sgopal2 - tres helpful. Merci!
Added Moses Brown to spreadsheet. They mail on M6, but Dir of Admissions called on M7 to congratulate DD on her admission. She’s thrilled, as MB is a favorite. OTOH, Fedex shows no signs of a package headed our way from Milton.
@momonymous, all you need is one favorite to say yes! Congratulations to your daughter.
Congratulations on your daughter’s acceptance. @momonymous
Congratulations, momonymous!
1-800-BANANAS indeed lol
Congratulations, momonymous and daughter!
Thanks @Sue22, @mathman1201, @payn4ward, @Britmom5! It is nice to have one under her belt as we await decisions from the other schools, especially since it is a favorite.
@blackbeard For the record I think you should put absolutely 0 stock in any notification for USPS those guys have no idea what they are doing, they are no FedEx. I think for @momonymous no Milton FedEx is probably not good news but congrats on MB! I think the USPS is incompetent, have you ever tried tracking a package with them before?? Its literally useless. Fear not for the Beardlings!!
Milton FedEx packages have been known to show up as late as M13. Breathe.
Kent’s decision is coming at 12:01 March 10th.
St. Andrews School packages arrived in today’s mail, so one down.
Tabor Academy’s acceptance came in the mail this afternoon. 1 down…6 to go. Does anyone have information on Blair Academy and the time they go live with admission decisions? Thanks.
