<p>ND is my first choice and everything I've ever wanted.
I got waitlisted at so many schools and I have just been praying every night for two weeks for an ND acceptance.
ahhhhhhhhhhh the wait is painful!</p>
<p>It’s so frustrating that there’s no mail on Sundays!!! Good luck.</p>
<p>I know!!! good luck to you too!
is it your first choice?
I tried to make that so clear on the application haha</p>
<p>@tour… i feel the exact same way. no other college comes close and ive been praying for this for 6 years. it all comes down to tomorrow. good luck to you and hopefully good news for both of us</p>
<p>@tour…: I was accepted EA, but my financial aid will be coming in the mail some time this week… there’s no way we can afford it unless I get a lot of scholarships, so I’m really, really hoping they give me enough to make it possible, because I would LOVE to go there!! Good luck to you too yankees27!</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat. My #1 school was ND, but I really wanted to go to UVa too. Those two were so far ahead of Michigan, Wake Forest, and others on my list. The plan was to get into UVa on Friday, spend a day or two celebrating, then hear from ND. If I got in, it would be the icing on the cake and I’d be going there. If I didn’t, I would be so excited to go to Virginia. Well, I got wait-listed by UVa. That was not part of the plan. Now I feel completely lost. I just can’t see myself getting into ND anymore. I was borderline to begin with. I went to Mass twice this weekend and now I’m just hoping for a Rudy-like miracle. I just hope ND realizes that I am a really solid candidate. I don’t have the best test scores (2060 SAT) or GPA (4.0W), but I hope they realize how tough my schedule(I took every Honors/AP I possibly could) and school are. Plus, I hope they see that my EC’s are real (roughly 3 hrs of choir practice per day…yes it makes HW hard to finish especially with our schools mandatory athletics requirement from 3:30 to 6 each day), not just one ten minute meeting of Star Wars club in a month. I wish anyone else who is as desperate as I am luck, and I hope everything works out for all of us. </p>
<p>No matter what happens, GO IRISH!</p>
<p>oh wow! well i’m sure notre dame will give you a lot of scholarships. i would have applied early action but they show on their website that they only suggest you apply EA if you are a stellar student. I go to a really competitive independent school so I’m not the top of my class, but i’ve grown up going to Nd football games and i have a lot of legacy so it’s just been my dream school!!!
good luck!!! </p>
<p>the mail comes when i’ll be at school so i’m having my mom email me
yes
no
or waitlist
ahhhhhh</p>
<p>I don’t know what to do because my decisions have not been what I have wanted. Tons of wait-lists and some rejections and I feel like ND is my last shot. </p>
<p>I might have to take a Gap Year and do some community service abroad. but my school would erupt. we wouldn’t have 100% going to college rate. and unfortunately its all about the label of the college you are going to after our school. sad :(</p>
<p>I’m just the same as you tour. ND is my passion. I too have of course grown up going to the campus and loving every bit of it. I cannot see myself not at ND. Though, the more I check out other universities I’ve been accepted to…the better my future appears.</p>
<p>jealous!! I’ve been accepted to 6 schools, but they are all my safeties. none of my reaches want me :(</p>
<p>ok i’m definitely preparing myself for a pity waitlist. I don’t have the competitive stats to get accepted tomorrow. I’m smart but not notre dame smart with their ACT range and GPA… Well my school doesn’t even have GPA’s but mine is a 3.3 i think. but i have all this legacy which is why I don’t think they will flat out reject me.
Well there goes a fun senior year. spending april and may doing everything possible to try to get off the waitlist :/</p>
<p>honestly i’m going if they accept me, don’t they want a good yield rate. just accept me gosh darn it</p>
<p>Lol…yeah…advertise that to them: “Accept us and we will boost your yield rate!”</p>
<p>I want to go to ND just as bad as you tour. I too expect either a rejection or waitlist, but it would make my year if I see a big packet in the mail.</p>
<p>hahaha i know i have a twin sister and all we’ve been saying all night is if you want a good yield rate ND, just accept me!!!
good luck to you!!! i hope for positive news for both of us tomorrow!!!
do you know what ND’s acceptance rate was this year for the RD cycle?</p>
<p>I hope I get in too! ND would be amazing to go to, good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>all of you should go and run for a long time and get really tired so you sleep all night - you all need to get sleep (it is the quickest way to pass time)</p>
<p>Lol…I’m a xc runner, running isn’t going to faze me. I believe ND’s acceptance rate was like 29% (as reported by CollegeBoard.com)</p>
<p>pouring rain here in VA…kinda hard to run 
I was overly optimistic about UVA, so I’m using reverse psychology by awaiting a small envelope tomorrow.</p>
<p>That approach might actually help cope with reality later on. And it might also provide a pleasant surprise.</p>
<p>Honestly the worst is going to be going to school tomorrow for from 8-3 and knowing my mail doesn’t come till 3:30 and I have Softball practice till 5. so my mother is telling me my decision.
I’ve been praying every night for two weeks now. but my letter is already in the mail so if i pray tonight doesn’t mean my decision will change.</p>
<p>I can’t halo but post on this thread. I hate ND with a burning passion (go BC eagles '14!) but I want to say good luck. I am just as passionate about BC as you guys are about ND, and I hope you all receive good news tomorrow. Again, good luck.</p>
