****2020 Notre Dame RD Applicant Discussion****

just
one
more
day
we got this

@justpick1 do you know for sure it will be tomorrow?

No. Just going with what many are saying here. I hope it is. I can’t take much more of this waiting

@justpick1 me neither. I was fretting all day expecting it to come and then it never did!

man I’m expecting so many decisions tomorrow its so nerve-racking! Best of luck to everyone tho! :slight_smile:

It’s been a nerve-racking week for me as well. Heard back from NEU, BC, and hopefully ND. I’ll be sure to include you all into my “please let me get into ND” part of my prayer haha.

Get up early if you want your decision. As I’ve been saying, I think they are going to release early tomorrow because that will stagger the onslaught to the computers and avoid possible catastrophe if people can’t get through. It just makes sense to me. If Notre Dame is nothing else, they are careful. A natural way to control the volume is to release the results very early in the morning while the east coast is leaving for school, the midwest/central is just waking up, and the west coast is still sleeping, that way all time zones try to access the portal at different times over several hours. I bet we all know by our breakfast.

Just a hunch. No, I don’t have any source. I wish!

Best of luck to everyone. Remember, we are all deserving.

I won’t be able to sleep tonight.

@collegefan6 I won’t be getting sleep either, mainly because I have an essay due tomorrow that needs some serious revisions. I’m not sure how I would feel about it being in the morning. On the one hand, if I got in, I could wear all the ND gear I own before Spring Break starts. On the other hand, getting denied and then going to school would suck…a ton. That’s the only reason I feel like they might not do it in the morning, but anything is possible I suppose.

Really glad I don’t have school tomorrow because I’ll be crying whether or not I get in hahahaha. But thanks @collegefan6 for the tip :slight_smile: I definitely won’t be able to sleep tonight at all.

Do they send anything via physical mail?

Like, I know we’ll find out via the portal, but do they send anything to accepted students (t-shirt, poster, brochure, something?)?

@XoXdreamerXoX as far as I know they do send snail mail as well

If they follow what they have done in the past, the mailing will be a folder type thing saying “Welcome Home” with a copy of the acceptance letter tucked in the front. The folder, I seem to remember, contains info about the campus, visiting, etc.

Already emailed my school that I’m going to take a day off. Can’t handle all the emotion tomorrow.

What if it’s not tomorrow://

I’m pretty sure that I’ll be rejected. At the time I open the official denial letter, everything is over, my dream is over. I will probably don’t know what to do.

The last two years they have been released on the third Friday of March, which is tomorrow, so that is my guess!

@Fiona1997 I know how you feel, but it helps to remember that God has a plan and that whatever happens will happen for a reason. Keep some hope, and also realize that no matter what college you choose, it will all work out well and it is not as big of a deal as we sometimes make it seem to be in our heads :slight_smile:

“Welcome back to the reality, Fiona!”

@Fiona1997 There’s always transferring, but cheer up.

Thank you guys! Just wish everything will run smoothly tomorrow… for everyone…
