Notre Dame Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

sophomore! @WhiteJesusUSA

just so you all know, one of my good friends just got his decision by phone call and he was accepted as an accounting major in Mendoza!

Wow they notified via phone call? Is that the standard way?

@ocrowley do you know what his gpa was. And what year and act score. What school he went to. Etc. thanks

he told me he really bugged his guidance counselor for a decision so maybe that’s why lol. he came from umass Amherst with I think a 3.9 something. lot of extra curriculars like on the board of the finance club at umass and such. he’s a sophomore and he tried to go in as finance but they only accepted him if he went into accounting. not sure what his high school stats were but I know they were really good. he applied as a senior but did not get in the first time around

^ this is crazy.

Seriously. Now I’m nervous because I applied for Finance…wouldn’t go to ND if they forced me to do a different major

how could they even differentiate finance and accounting for admission selectivity? It does not make sense as other business schools do not determine the numbers of people that they accept through one’s option of major. I applied for accounting though, not hoping much as I have gotten into my top schools.

@jasprazet Do you mind sharing where else you’ve gotten in? I got into USC Marshall and Georgetown McDonough

Does anyone want to call and see when decisions will be sent?

I’m assuming the reason that they are not accepting transfers into ND under a finance major is because ND has had to limit the number of Finance majors at ND because of the popularity of that major. You could imagine the potential fallout if they were to accept a transfer Finance major while forcing someone to select a different major who has been on campus since day 1.

Based upon what one person has already stated, it would seem extremely unlikely that anyone being an accepted transfer this year would be allowed to major in Finance.

This may all change in the future as the enrollment caps at Mendoza may result in the limit to the Finance major being no longer needed.

@WhiteJesusUSA wow congrats. I would go for mcdonough if I were you as that is my dream school. Where are you transferring from? Im from uw seattle. I got into foster, marshall, questrom, umich econ. Still waiting for nd and ross.

@jasprazet I transferred from a CC in Chicago. And those are good options! I’d kill to go to Ross. IMHO Ross>McDonough

Just got the e-mail. Accepted!

accepted! Congrats to everyone else as well!

@mxtransfer @rubydog65 congrats! what majors are you guys accepted to?

Psychology! Have you heard yet?

I was accepted as an English major

I withdrawed my application this morning. Good luck everyone!

Just curious guys that got accepted. When did you send your application in! What do you last names start with? (Maybe they go alphabetically). Or other info that might help. I still haven’t heard.
