<p>Okay, thank you!</p>
<p>For comparison to the 2010 early action stats just posted.</p>
<p>when ND took 271 kids off the waiting list last year, was this still need blind?</p>
<p>For those of you wait listed, see post 77 where it appeared 271 students were admitted last year off the wait list. This may not be a perfect number, but close. If the University places approximately 900 on the waitlist, you still have a decent chance. Good luck and keep trying.</p>
<p>While the University asks that the 2010 admission stats not be posted, an interested reader would find them AMAZINGLY identical to the 2009 numbers, just as one might expect on a year to year basis.</p>

<p>Do the math I guess…that is their numbers from them!</p>
<p>So, 2,000 were placed on the WL for 2010? Of these, how many requested to remain on the list? Are these numbers comparable to 2009 (where posts indicated 900)? Just trying to realistically assess the situation (thanks!).</p>
<p>Well the 900 number came from this year’s waitlist letter. They offered 2000 people a waitlist position and they said they suspected 900 would accept.</p>
<p>numbersguy - do you think they will go to the waitlist based on your post #85.</p>
<p>I would expect the University to take 100 to 200 students off the waiting list. Good luck to those awaiting word. My S just finished his freshman year and can’t wait to get back in the fall. If you have the academic strength to gain admission and enjoy sports (other than as a varsity athlete), I can’t think of a more inviting school to attend.</p>
<p>As a parent and alumnus, I could not have asked for a better on campus environment for our S. I was most impressed by the high quality of his dorm mates. While the high academic standards may frustrate some students who hoped to attend ND, they also serve to create a high caliber student body, that truly cares.</p>
<p>We spent last evening with a friend who just finished up his freshman year at Michigan State. His stories of dorm life and classroom tales were in stark contrast to those from ND. Obviously, two different types of schools, but a tremendous difference between a large, Big Ten, state school and a small, private school with same sex dorms. You may be able to get the same degree at several hundred schools, but the overall life experience is a huge part of what you learn in college.</p>
