Hi everyone, I noticed that there wasn’t a major thread for this year’s REA applicant pool, and the last few years’ have been pretty popular, so I wanted to start one for this year. I am applying to ND REA under a Middle Eastern Studies major, what are you applying under? Also, does anyone know when the decisions are posted? I’ve heard anything from December 12th-15th…
Applying as a finance major.
Here’s my notes about how the REA decisions came out last year. You can also look at last year’s thread to see the real time postings of how it happened. TBD if ND will do it the same way this year.
An email came from ND on Wednesday December 7 notifying that REA decisions would be available “mid-December”. The email contained log in credentials to the admissions decision portal. The email also said that ND would send an email indicating when decisions would be available.
Online speculation was that the release date was going to be Monday 12/12 or Wednesday 12/14. Lots of amusing entrail-reading theories were floated about why a particular day was going to be the day.
During the day on 12/12, the https://confirm.nd.edu web page was updated with a message that said the site would be updated that day after 6 pm ET with new info. That posting appeared to foreshadow that 12/12 would be the release day.
At 6:42 pm ET, the admissions portal was updated with decision information without any announcement. Applicants could start logging in to see decisions. 6:42 pm is 18:42 in military time, and ND was founded in 1842
Emails from ND advising that decisions were available started coming out in batches beginning at 7 pm ET.
Good luck to all!!
Applying as a Computer Science major, but I don’t know the date for decisions
@northwesty that is very interesting. I have extensively read last year’s thread and found it quite amusing to see all of the buildup until the actual release of decisions… I am curious as to if it’ll be the same thing this year. Also, I think them releasing it at 18:42 military time is a very cool thing to do. Best of luck.
I am applying as a neuroscience major! From reading past threads I gathered that they usually come out on a Monday, which would be December 11th
Applying under finance! Super hyped for the release date!
Son applied aerospace engineering and has a 4-year NROTC scholarship to Notre Dame if he makes it in. Excited for release date!
I applied Early Action for Psychology.
I applied Early Action for Physics. I’m really starting to freak out as the decision time comes closer.
@kitkat2018 to you and to everyone else freaking out, I would like to offer a piece of advice. If we are not chosen for this highly selective institution, no matter how bad we wanted it, in the end it is their loss. The culmination of the last 3 and a 1/2 have led up to this, and if we are denied, so be it. We will all end up at a school that we will eventually fall in love with, we just don’t know it yet. I would like to wish everyone on this thread the best of luck with Notre Dame, and every other school that you apply to because you never know where you’ll end up.
I applied REA for International Economics. I don’t expect to get in and actually decided to apply the day before EA was due lol
I applied REA for a Science-Business major with the intention of going on to medical school.
@italia246 that is my ultimate goal as well, do you know ND’s acceptance rate to medical schools?
@Barcelona97531 I believe it’s above 80%
I applied REA for Management Consulting/Engineering. Anyone here any release dates?
@NDreams that’s an impressive percentage. And we’re speculating a release on the 12th.
Wow that’s coming up. Not really sure how to feel.
“And we’re speculating a release on the 12th.”
Why the 12th, @Barcelona97531? Just curious. In the last 2 years, decisions have come on the Monday of finals week for ND. That would be the 11th, although that does feel early.
@suzy100 It was the 12th last year, people are probably forgetting to go back a day. Like you said, I expect that it’s the 11th this year (same Monday as last year).
Hey everybody! What are you applying for. And by the way, the decisions can be released anytime from today until the 17th
