Notre Dame Class of 2023 REA Thread

I don’t know if this is helpful. I live in Jersey and my friend applied to Princeton. She got an email that they will give her their decision tomorrow. It’s another Ivy school that’s sending their decision this week. Also, BC is sending theirs between thr 17th and 20th and are sending an email with the exact date this week. Does that help in any way? Maybe ND will follow BC and do it next week? Hopefully it’s tomorrow or Friday.

My guess is tomorrow or Friday. I know a few people who applied to ivies & they’re supposed to hear back on Thursday I believe, so based on ND trends of years past, decisions should come out tomorrow. But obviously we could all be very wrong. Also, UChicago is coming out on Monday if that helps anyone guess about ND.

Happy Wednesday, Hump day and hopefully decision day!!!

Good luck to all those waiting for results. Last year my dd (now a first year at ND) heard on W night at 18:42 pm. BC notified her the next day. I know it’s agonizing to wait!

Is the applicant status portal where we are going to see our admissions decision? Or is the email that gets released a little after 6:42 going to have a link to a specific portal where we are going to see our admissions decision?

Also is it pm or am? I’m kind of confused. This discussion is very helpful!

Decisions come out at 6:42 p.m. eastern time. When released, they will be available on the applicant portal.

Best of luck all!

Just wondering @suzy100 , how do you know ? That is great news

@yvngslurp Traditionally, Notre Dame releases the decisions at 6:42 p.m. whatever day they release the information. The 18:42 is military time and that time is important because ND was founded in 1842. At least that’s my understanding.

How sure are we that they come out tonight ?

@yvngslurp I have 0% confidence they are coming tonight. Only because I have no earthy idea when they are actually going to be released. I think everything is purely speculative at this point - other than the time the information will be released.

Sorry, I didn’t mean they are definitely coming out tonight, just that when they are released it will be at 6:42 eastern time and the decisions will be on the portal. I do think there is a shot that it will be tonight. Last year they were released on the Wednesday of finals week. BUT it’s all a guess at this point.

I’ll be at work in a remote area of town with no cell service when the decisions come out (4:42 local time) if they come out today, so when I check the forum later I suppose I’ll be able to gauge whether decisions are out based on the amount of replies!

We don’t KNOW it’s tonight, we just researched and last year it was released on the Wednesday and the year before it was released on the Wednesday. 100% it will be 18:42 EASTERN on the release day. It’s just the beginning of cool traditions with meaning that ND offers. This is the time the login for the PORTAL only. Emails will come out a short time after so get those login and passwords cued up for the decision. Our daughter is a junior and it’s the most incredible moment when the screen changes. Don’t miss it! We have our fingers crossed for our second tonight we hope.

Good luck everyone!! I do hope that the predictions for tonight are accurate! If you haven’t noticed, there is a thread entitled “Notre Dame Class of 2023 REA Decisions/Results Thread” pinned at the top of this forum. Please use that thread to post your results. Hoping for good news from most of you!

Certainly saying a prayer for all of us this morning! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we can finally get it over with! Best wishes to all of you and your students! Go Irish!

My daughter was admitted REA two years ago and her decision was emailed on Monday evening, Dec 12th. Now anxiously awaiting decision for 2nd child. Have been watching the admitted student page on ND’s website and they still have up the Welcome Class of 2022 video. Guessing they’ll change that before they send decisions.

Does anyone know (esp students/parents of current ND freshmen) when you open the admission decision, is there a big picture of something for those admitted and a form letter for denials or deferred? For Georgia, when D opened the decision, there was a large picture with Congratulations and fireworks so she knew immediately that she was admitted without having to read a letter. Thanks!

Actually 2 years ago it came out on a Tuesday night. Last year was a Wed

When my son opened his decision last year there was a picture of the dome. It said Welcome Home.
