Notre Dame says that merit based scholarships are released late January… anyone hear from them yet? Curious to see if they’ve released it / if there’s still hope for me to get one.
receive one today
- does it mean acceptance?
I’d think if they would give you a scholarship it would mean that they accept you. So yes, 99% chance its a yes.
Well its not final, its a nomination…
Did it come via email this evening or regular mail?
@misterstax …question above meant for you, sorry. Did it come this evening as email or via regular mail?
Nomination doesn’t mean acceptance I’m pretty sure, its definitely a good sign though.
Are RD applicants emailed as well?
I applied RD
You would think that getting a schollie nomination is kind of like getting a likely letter.
ND already has a bunch of accepted students from the EA round, and only a portion of those kids get nominated. So a nomination going to an unaccepted RD applicant would seem to indicate that ND thinks an acceptance is pretty highly likely.
Have any international students been notified?
@misterstax For which scholarship program did you get the nomination?
This is what I got:
" I am delighted to nominate you on behalf of the University’s Enrollment Division as a semifinalist for a merit scholarship at Notre Dame. "
Wow so it looks like EA accepted and RD not yet officially accepted got notifications! Good luck!
Here is my contribution.
The merit semi finalists letter means " very likely " acceptance per admissions office.
All acceptance will be notified at the end of the March. So its not an official acceptance.
Grateful for everyone’s posts on CC.
Notre Dame only awards merit scholarships to a very small percentage of the incoming class. The fact they are even considering you for a merit scholarship leads me to believe you’ll be accepted
Does anyone know the date when decisions regarding finalist status will be released?
The original email said finalists would be notified mid- to late-February, so I guess anytime between now and the next 12 days. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
I just received an email stating i was not a finalist for a scholarship but essentially said I was accepted to notre dame
