Notre Dame Class of 2021 EA Discussion

Is the Reilly Weekend not happening this year?

I don’t think anyone has heard for merit yet. Hopefully we will soon! @collegemomjam

When someone hears about merit scholarships please let us know

D received an email saying she is nominated for a $25,000/year merit scholarship. Submission materials are due by feb 6.

If you are nominated for a merit scholarship does that mean you are going to be admitted or is there still a chance you could be denied admittance?

Are RD applicants notified of merit scholarships in late January as well?

@KM2021 thats what I’m thinking not positive though

if we weren’t emailed by today is it safe to assume that we weren’t nominated? did anyone else hear anything?

I can confirm that many, many people have heard back about merit scholarships. It looks like the email was sent out today at 4:00 Pacific Time. Now if anyone has information about how many people they nominate, THAT would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

I applied RD and was also notified of merit scholarships. To answer some questions, being notified of the scholarship means you are accepted no matter what. So congrats!! I believe they invite the top 10% of applicants to apply because the merit scholarships page says you need to be in the top 10% to apply, but it’s possible it’s less than that. For the others invited to apply, do any of you understand this quiz thing? What’s on it?

Hell yea! Can you link me? And no; haven’t done the quiz yet, sorry

Have any international students been notified of merit scholarships?

@belle2021 i think its top 10% of accepted students… 10% of applicants would be the entire freshman class almost.

If the financial certification form was given late, does this impact my chances of being notified of any merits scholarships?

Oh sorry, it doesn’t say it officially on notre dame’s site, but that’s what I’ve heard from people who go there.

when will we hear back?

I have heard they are trying to get them out before st Patrick’s day
