Update
Hi everyone!
Some news to report: if you were deferred Early Action (EA) and received an invitation to our Family Day accepted student program in the mail this week – oops… and congratulations! Instead of only mailing the Family Day invitations to students who were accepted EA, we inadvertently sent them to some students who were deferred EA, but who we will be inviting when we release decisions next week.
We are finishing our application review this week and our actual decision letters will be released by the end of next week. If you received the invitation to Family Day, you will also be receiving an acceptance letter in the near future. However, if you were deferred EA but did not receive a Family Day invitation – that does not necessarily mean you were denied in the Regular Decision review process. The Family Day invitations were sent to only a small number of deferred (soon to be accepted!) students – other deferred students will be invited by the end of our Committee on Admission meetings this week.
As we near the end of the review process, we work so hard to make sure that everything goes smoothly – and so again I will say, oops! But once more, congrats to all of you who received the Family Day invitation – you can look at it as a sneak preview of your soon-to-arrive acceptance letter!
For our students who were accepted back in December during the EA review process, your Family Day invitations should have already arrived or will arrive this week. You can register for Family Day by following the web link on the invitation or by calling the Office of Admission.
The end of the review process is certainly in sight – more details on the release of decision letters to come shortly! Stay tuned!

Hi Christina,
Financial aid packages generally go out to invited students about 2 weeks after decision letters are released.
Glad you enjoy reading the blog! Thank you!

Hi Scott,
Do you send email acceptances along with letters in the mail?

Hi Adrianna,
We do not send e-mail notification of decisions - they are only released through the mail (except for international students who we do send e-mail notifications to due to the length of time it takes for regular mail to reach them).

Hi Scott,
My name is Linh N., from Vietnam. I learned from your blog that Providence will send out admissions decisions at the end of this week. Will the college notify us international students of our decisions through email? I am really anxious as it would take 3 weeks for the letter to reach my place by snail mail! Thank you very much in advance!
By the way, I really enjoy your blog. It helps a lot!
Best Regards,
Linh N.

Hi Linh,
We WILL be sending e-mail notification to all of our international applicants, so you will not have to wait for the mail!
Thank you for the kind words on the blog - I'm glad it's been helpful!
