Mine came two days later. I think they use two day shipping.

Nevermind just got it to work! 6lb package coming from Vanderbilt Law School!

What's in the acceptance package? That's heavy as hell.

A bunch of really nice viewbooks, an awesome guide written by current students, bumper sticker, etc.

Check last year's thread. I think WL's starting coming out in Jan, but IIRC it was a bit later.

edit: looked at least year's thread. It would be a tad early for WL's to be coming out.
FedEx Shipment Notification says "Weight: 5.00 lb". Does it mean good news?
Yep! Acceptances come in FedEx packages. congrats!
Thanks! Good luck to everyone still waiting! Looking at last year's thread, likely a big wave of admittance will be sent in the coming days!

It seems no scholarship information will be available before the end of Feb. Still lot of wait ahead.

I applied/interviewed in mid november, while I suspect they held my app due to my dec retake.

Received my (awesome) admissions packet on Monday. I went complete in late Dec so I was surprised to hear back so early, but I'm happy I got in. Wasn't really one of my top choices but after reading the materials I'm starting to like the school more and more. Probably gonna make my way down to Nashville for the admitted students weekend.

Status changed to "decision mailed" today. Haven't received anything from FedEx. How long before I should assume a waitlist?

DLS today 01/08. It came as a bit of a shock since it's been radio silence since I went complete waaaay back on 09/26. I tried doing the FedEx delivery manager thing to see if there was anything on the way, and they had no record, but there might just be nothing in the system yet. Or else it's a tiny little envelope full of tears.

Some who have been accepted in this thread and last year's have said FedEx can take like 24 hours to update

I did not see anything on FedEx Delivery Manager until the day after the status checker updated. Received the (incredible) package two days after the status checker changed.

Same.
Ready for my box of chocolates and kleenex.
don't lose hope! as said above, my fedex delivery manager also didn't update until the day after the "decision mailed" status.

Right. I guess I'm hanging my hope on the idea that I got into UCLA, and they're, like, right next to each other on lists! (very scientific)

My tracker changed to "decision mailed" today too. I'm just below the 25th, but maybe they liked my softs? Not getting my hopes up, as this hasn't proven true at any school yet. But, it does seem like a waive of acceptances have been going out, so I'm not going to get too down about it until I know for sure.

Side note: I tried the FedEx tracker too. No information for pending packages. Looks like other have reported a 24 hour turnaround. My status updated today, so *maybe* one is on the way. I've given up on getting giddy at any whiff of news. My heart just can't take it!!

Anyway, my mini rant is over. Good luck to everyone pending a mailing and everyone still pending a decision!

I'm also in the "decision mailed, but very doubtful it's an acceptance" boat. Fingers crossed but not expecting much. Good luck to everyone sweating it out!

If it helps ease anyone's mind... my status changed from decision mailed and the FedEx thing NEVER worked for me. I got the acceptance, and still had yet to receive any such notification. Don't lose hope!

If someone in this 01/08 decision mailed group receives a notification from FedEx that they have a package en route to them, please let everyone here know!
