The wait is killing us. I called and was told “it’s still being processed.”
Not sure this helps - for my situation, ND has supplied enough aid that my out of pocket is roughly my EFC. Fingers crossed that you get a good answer.
Also, the initial offer my DS received was not quite as much. I had a meeting with FA counselor and they agreed to review the packet. I asked for aid to cover all but our EFC - they made it work.

Congrats! Interesting that they called before May 3. What major is he interested in if I may ask? And where are you located?
Congratulations! Did they call your son? Or email?
My son is physics/pre-med and we are in the Philadelphia area.
@PANJ616 His AO called his cellphone.
If you are on the waitlist stay positive and don’t lose hope, anything is possible.

Thanks! Good to know. Yes my son is on the waitlist too but as a business major applicant.
Congrats to your son! I’m also waitlisted around the same area and nervous because Notre Dame is my dream school. Did you son send a loci or anything else?

Yes, he did a LOCI and then followed up about 10 days later with another check-in. Stay positive, you just never know what might happen.

Wow that’s amazing! I’m just nervous to send too much information to my AO! Do you know if anyone else got off the waitlist, like if they did a whole early round?

I haven’t seen anyone else post that they got off the waitlist on various forums that I watch.
Congratulations to your son! How long does he have to decide?

Where is he deciding between? My son was choosing ND/Cornell/USC/UVA/UMich - he didn’t feel that anything compared to ND. I hope your son loves it!

Thanks, we are taking a very long road trip to several places just to make sure the “vibe” is there. We will be traveling to CMU-Case Western-ND-Baylor and stopping off at Vandy on the way home, on the wait list but we will pass right through so why not. After getting wait listed at ND we have discovered so many positive things about other places so the final test will be the “vibe” at each. It’s funny the schools we are visiting are all so different. Where did you decide to commit?
Thank you so much! My son is still in shock. The phone call was so surreal. We are very excited to take the road trip and see if it feels like home.
