Hi all, I’ve applied REA to Notre Dame, like many of you guys. Here are some things I was wondering about, maybe you too. Does anyone know when decisions are coming out? Email? Physical mail? Time range? Closest to ND get letters first?
With college applications, should I stop worrying about my chances and let fate decide? What I mean is like for school tests or standardized tests you always have like this feeling after you take them and it’s either a good or a bad feeling. Like you can somewhat estimate what the result is going to be. Same or different for college decisions? I bet it’s best to stay neutral and neither get my hopes up nor bring myself down at this point. How are you guys feeling the week before decisions?
Also, let me know if you get accepted and what you are planning to study!
Stop worrying. There is nothing you can do now. Last year ND mailed decisions on the 10th or 11th, I can’t remember which. This year they are notifying applicants electronically.
I heard from both Admissions and Development. The last few years, last year especially, there were numerous problems with mail not reaching applicants in a timely manner, so they decided to make the switch. To give some context, we live an hour from ND and my daughter’s letter took nearly a week and a half to reach us.
Yes, it looks like it is going to be different this year. No date given in the email from the ND Admin email other than “mid-December”:
"We are writing to remind you that admission decisions will be released in mid-December for Restrictive Early Action. We will advise you via this email address when decisions have been released.
In preparation for the mid-December release, below please find a link to Your Applicant Status Page. Decisions will be available via this Status Page in mid-December. "
It will be nice this year, considering they are capable of notifying everyone of their decision online the same day they are released. I know it will save myself a lot of grief. I just have to pray for an acceptance now. If anyone here’s anything, make sure to post in the thread. I know I will be following the ND Admission twitter account to be notified of the release.
