<p>Join me in the club of hopefuls.... ahhh my patience is dwindling. I applied to 9 schools.. and this is the most significant one... if ND takes me that's where I'll be next year. So let's start a club.</p>
<p>I've taken up knitting. I'll join. Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn April!</p>
<p>I'm from the Chicago area too :) South Side!</p>
<p>I'm joining the club, and am also from Chicago</p>
<p>Not from Chicago, but joining the club.</p>
<p>I think like half of Notre Dame's student body comes from the Chicago area. I'm actually from northwest Indiana but saying 'Chicago' is easier and cooler.</p>
<p>Yea, definitely cooler than Indiana.... darn hoosiers ;)</p>
<p>I know... APRIL... I can't wait. I'm hoping they are delivered around March 29th, like they were last year. I'm having a real hard time dealing with the anticipation. I'm so anxious. But I know that if it were meant to be, God will make it happen. It's just kind of agonizing, because it's the only school I applied to that I REALLY want to go to, and the other schools, I can get almost full rides as of right now, but if I get accepted to ND, then I'll have to bear that burden of tuition. I know the FN is helpful, but I don't know how much I'll get, and that is if I get in. I'm looking all over for scholarships, but I guess I'm more worried about getting in. I would put my stats up, but I couldn't bear being told I'm a sure in, and not getting accepted. It's soo subjective. :-( But I really think God wants me to go here, so I shouldn't worry, and even if I misunderstood His plan, I know wherever I go, I will get what I need to get.</p>
<p>just to warn you guys- last year the EA things came on Dec 12th, this year they made us wait until Dec 20th... it almost drove me insane</p>
<p>Well using somewhat twisted logic, maybe that means that the RD will come earlier ;-) I know that's unlikely, but I'm optimistic... or I was until college stuff happens :-) I already got accepted to a moderately okay state school, but I want ND! :-)... Well, whatever God has in store, I'll accept.</p>
<p>hey I applied to 9 schools too! This is probably my most "significant" also! Anyway, I'm joining the club and I'm from the northwest. Long ways... Anyhow, I am not looking forward to my inevitable rejection letter but at least until then I can dream! :) Good Luck to all of you!</p>
<p>There must be something magic about the number nine, because I also applied to that many. Sixty more days until April 1st...</p>
<p>Hey, good luck all you RD'ers! The wait is agonizing, but once that big envelope is in your mailbox (which I'm sure it will be), you'll have a perma-smile for a week. See you all next year in South Bend!</p>
<p>heck yes! Isn't it weird that we could all actually meet eachother next year? I want ND real bad, if only it would want me!</p>
<p>Talking about this makes me excited and worried at the same time. We'll find out in due time... and I'm sure that wherever we end up we will be happy.</p>
<p>hey guys...whats up...i applied to from nj...one kid from my school already got accepted ea...i can't wait...i applied to 12 schools and nd is my favorite besides maybe cornell...but the 59 days until april 1st seems endless...guess we'll all just have to sit back and enjoy being second semester seniors...great feeling!</p>
<p>joining the club...applied to nine schools also! don't want any of them and really struggling about the anticipation of it all. amazing how painful it can be to want something so badly!</p>
<p>Honestly, everyone at school keeps asking me if I've gotten my decision..... it's driving me insane because everyone knows that it's my dream school. If I don't get in.... well, hopefully that won't happen. ND is absolutely my dream school, so I'm putting my hopes in God and that candle my dad lit for me at the grotto :)</p>
<p>That's how it was for me the couple weeks before decision came. Then once I told one person, spread around the school like wildfire.</p>
<p>since everyone has known where i want to go for my entire life, it is really bad at school and just about with every family member i see...i find myself wishing i never told anyone how much i want to go to ND...praying...</p>
