@Gracedad do you remember if there was any kind of tip or warning that the emails were coming? Or your son just got the email? I’m not sure we will get any notice that the email is coming. That’s the point of the email, I guess.
@plaidpants5 Yeah, I do realize that. I just mean why would they announce which day those emails will come out in such a cryptic manner? It just seems like it may have no actual connection to decisions, but it is also very possible that the stress of this is just causing me to over-analyze this. We will see in under two hours. There is a plan.
The portal page pops up “Welcome Home”. It’s so nerve racking - so much easier when the big envelope arrived in the mail. Good luck to everyone here - my prayers are with you!
I think that message may have been a mistake, or they were expecting applicants not to know the address of the site as it is only released to those who are accepted.
Yes I understand, it does seem odd @historiaimperii I was thinking that they would be released on Wednesday, a week after the portal emails, but I am hopeful that they’ll be tonight
My son was accepted REA last year, and he received an email on Monday, December 14th about 5pm central time that the decisions were posted. He then logged on to the portal to get the decision. There had been a lot of chatter on CC that the decisions were coming this week last year, so I knew it was soon, but I expected Wednesday. Good luck to all!
Weird question for anybody who was accepted last year. When you opened your portal page was there a separate link to access your admission decision, or was the decision directly posted on your portal page when you opened it. Just trying to get an idea of when I should cringe and shut my eyes, haha.
The decision for accepted popped up as the Dome, and “Welcome Home”.
@ndtxmom82 Was that right on the portal, though, or on a page that the portal linked to? Thanks
@collegemomjam There was no tip or warning. But we spent much of the day as many of you are, looking for clues or meaning of the simplest things. Last year there was lots of talk about the whole 1842 thing and also lots of speculation concerning some tweets from the office of information & Technology about some network issues and if that was a sign in some way.
I can really relate to what all of you are going through.
To be fair, it might just mean that they are updating the design of the page this year. Looking at the archive that @warrenbisch posted, it doesn’t appear that the site has ever shown a message like that, even right before the decisions were released in previous years.
Thanks @GraceDad…you’ve been a great resource! We will know soon enough and it is what it is!
Agh I’m really anxious. I just don’t want to wait any longer :(( At this point, I know, there is nothing more that I can do to change the outcome of this, kind of out of my hands at this point so whatever happens happens and it will be for the best… Still nervous though I would love to go to ND!!
Has anyone signed on to the portal and clicked on the student accounts link at the top right? Just fishing like everyone else.
Yeah but I don’t think that means anything 
@tzglass
Just checked the webcam on the ND website.
Did not see any white smoke rising up from the Dome or any other visible portent.
If you follow ndadmissions on twitter, they posted last year when the decisions were up. I got that notification before I got the email.
What did you see on the student accounts page? @tzglass
Nvm…it appears to be for admitted students from last year.
Well… Today is the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe. ND will probably want to celebrate the day by releasing the decisions… Not a bad idea
