I hope I’m wrong but it seems like if it was imminent, they wouldn’t continue repeating “mid-December”. Seems like they would say “sit tight” or “very soon.” Since I would consider mid-December from Dec. 10 through 20, it’s frustrating that they keep saying “mid-December” when we are in mid-December! If it isn’t going to be yesterday or today, then I wish they would have just said it will be next week. They don’t need to commit to a firm date, but wish they would give a little more guidance so we don’t obsessively check e-mail and twitter for 2 days straight! But that’s what I’ll be doing today…
I don’t think office hours apply to when decisions will be released because the email with the portal log in information was sent to me at 8PM Notre Dame’s time, so I have a feeling that there’s a possibly that they could be released on the weekend. I would really like the decision today though!
@GianRaf Could you please describe the materials (housing info, etc.) that came in the “big envelope” that contained your acceptance letter, plus any other interesting statements in the letter itself (which school you were in, invitation to visit campus, etc.)?
happy maybe acceptance day everybody!
@ChocolateSprinkl the email they sent out was an identical one and was sent to all REA applicants. Most likely it was queued to be sent at a specific time. Decisions, since identical ones won’t be sent to everyone, would most likely not be automated. Also, fwiw, when they did it by snail mail, they never sent them out any time other than M-F. If they are going out today, my guess, based on past experience, is that it would be late in the day.
@maddan9497 The admissions packet was a folder containing basic info about ND, with a map, some university statistics, etc. The letter is tucked into the front of the brochure, and the front says “Welcome Home”. We have two of them in our house and looking at them never gets old. ND is truly a special place and I wish you all the best of luck!
@ejcclc, @ChocolateSprinkl The decisions are not being sent via email, just the notification that the decisions on are the portal. So, I would guess it would be an identical email to all REA applicants.
I still don’t see them sending decisions out over the weekend. Stranger things have happened though. As I said in an earlier post, decisions were mailed on the 10th last year, on the 13th in '12, and on the 15th in '11. Sit tight!
Every time my phone buzzes I hope it’s Notre Dame emailing. Can they please put us out of our misery
@GianRaf and @ejccic Do either of you remember any form of announcement prior to the actual release date, last year and beyond?? Just curious if we are waiting for the email that decision are posted, or actually waiting for an email/post/twit when the ‘specific’, ‘mid-December’ release date is.
Last year they did send a tweet when the decisions were mailed.
Does anyone know what time of day it would be at? I would like to think like 4 or 5 eastern time but I don’t know
We are going to get an email when decisions are posted, then we have to log in to see
NDAdmissions just tweeted twice in the last 5-10 minutes… nothing about REA… killing me!
I think they’re taunting us with those tweets!
They tweeted like four times responding to people asking about the date. But they all said the same thing, “decisions will be released mid December” isn’t it mid December now!
Indeed, it is officially “mid-December”. I’m holding out hope (but not very much) that they release decisions at 5 p.m. Eastern.
That’s in 12 minutes…
omagod
not out…
I just checked- nothings up
