Admissions Decisions

@Aggiemom05 what was that email about, specifically? Was he missing documents?

@Rathination‌ he needed to upload my husband’s W-2 form

So, in the week since Notre Dame released its decisions:

  • Last Friday, D was accepted by UVA; received decision online; has received multiple emails notifying her of Echols admission and inviting her to Days on the Lawn; today received multiple letters that I'm assuming are hard copies of the other items.

Sunday, D was accepted to Vanderbilt; received decision online; started getting emails inviting her for the various admitted student days; watched the cool video getting everyone in the family excited; yesterday she received a huge priority mail envelope with all kinds of information.

  • Last night, accepted at Duke; notified online; has received no less than five different emails from Duke that range from congratulatory to invite for Blue Devil Days and Digital Swag links (I know because her mother and I have been cc'd on everything).
  • Today? Still nothing from Notre Dame... :(

If we hadn’t received a Likely Letter, I don’t know what we’d be doing right now, but I would guess ND would have fallen off the map. Good luck to everyone that is still waiting, we’re driving to Nashville tomorrow just for fun, so won’t be around to check the mail.

@SCNomad Thanks for the update. Congratulations to your D who is clearly amazing! Can’t believe you still have not heard from ND. Starting to dread today’s mail for fear it will be empty. Enjoy your trip to Vandy!

Thanks @hideNseek we are very proud of her. I know she’d going to be happy where ever she goes, but I have a soft spot for ND. It’s that admiration for your rival thing from this Trojan. I could really see her there, so I’m anxious to be able to put it all on the kitchen table and start looking at them all.

@SCNomad Understand completely…it’s the uncertainty that is the hardest IMHO. If no ND paperwork in our mailbox today, hopefully our UVA letter will arrive, as yours did. Like that online notification so much better! Was a happy Friday here, too, last week.

@Rathination‌ we had to upload W-2 forms

Finally in Western WI! Admissions called back D during lunch and apologized profusely about her missing Fat letter and welcomed her into the Class of 2019. They are very aware of some mailing issues. So sorry for everyone still waiting. Agony. Sending good vibes and a little Irish luck your way.

This has been handled poorly. Email last week would’ve negated the issue. Tweets from the admissions folks updating applicants when they knew of the issue would’ve been appropriate. The fact that they are emailing kids that got accepted invitations to a spring visit is amazingly tone deaf. Admissions has still not officially acknowledged the problem. At any well run company the folks responsible would be held accountable.

Interestingly D’s FA letter was sent yesterday and they told me to give it a week to get to us (in Indiana) before I call. Sounds like they are anticipating the same issues with FA.

The wait is over. Accepted in northwest Tennessee!

Accepted in MI today. Had not received financial aid emails, spring visit email invitations, likely letters or any other communication since submitting Common App. Not a legacy. Not an athlete.

Is the Admissions office answering calls for anyone? I’ve been calling all day but they haven’t picked up all day.

Congratulations to the newly accepted. Still waiting for the mail…hope there is good news…but not holding my breath.

How do you know that your FA packet is in the mail? Also is the spring visit invite only?

By the way, I was accepted (Northern California) on Tuesday. Go Irish!

I called them. @11Premed11‌

Nothing in today’s mail again. Ugh. Called and was told they would send an email this evening. Doesn’t look good. At least the wait will be over by tonight. Good luck to those still waiting.

I hope this supposed email contains an ID. It’s been five days since some else in my town got their acceptance letter, and I want to commit to ND!

@feartheENGR I thought you already posted that you got accepted…didn’t you receive a letter? Also, not sure that Admissions is sending everyone emails …said they would send us one. Didn’t ask if they were sending them to everyone.

Called admissions and they said they would send me an email.
