@wneely16 oh i thought i saw a post from last year saying that otrre dame didn’t take anyone the year before. guess i was wrong?
and is there really spot left for notre dame?
@Bluebrry They took no-one in 2015 (outside of Gateway), but in 2014, they took quite a few. @IliketoFence was one of the people who made it off the list in 2014. No worries, though - I’m just glad that this year is a year that people are making it.
any hope for today?
how many waves have been released so far?
@Bluebrry 1 wave of waitlist and 1 wave of Gateway
Any phone calls? I spoke with admissions yesterday, they said they will take more off the waitlist. Good luck to all!!
Not today! Maybe tomorrow?
What do you guys think?
tomorrow or couple days
It has to happen at some point! I’m honestly done speculating about when it’s going to be. As long as it happens eventually, that’s fine with me.
I just got the call today at around 3pm eastern!!! Feeling extremely lucky and blessed.
Good luck to everyone else on the waitlist! They might still be making some calls in the coming days.
Congrats @NoSkillWill !
Out of curiosity, were you offered a slot in the gateway program?
Did they call on cell phone or home
@NoSkillWill Congratulations
Does not getting a call today eliminate all hope??
And please be honest…my feelings won’t be hurt, I just hate waiting for this long
Congrats @NoSkillWill !!
Agree with the above question? We don’t want to accept Gateway unless there’s still a chance my daughter may be getting off the WL.
Plus, we don’t want the expense of the trip out to see Holy Cross–expensive coming from the west coast ESP with all the grad festivities here at home.
Still hoping for the best for her, but the daily waiting is hard. ESP now over the weekend–
Thanks for all of the congratulations!
I want to start off by saying I did what was recommended by posters earlier in this thread. I emailed updates to my counselor, called, etc to express my genuine desire to attend the school. I can’t help but feel incredibly lucky for this outcome. I know there are lots of people that are as qualified and perhaps more qualified than me to attend.
For those asking, I was not offered a spot in the gateway program.
I know anything I say won’t really make those that are still waiting feel better, but I truly wish you the best of luck.
Has anyone that has been admitted to Gateway received a financial aid package yet?
@domerhopeful @MIichelleMicahel @college1324
I’m still waiting on my aid package, and it’s starting to concern me. I’ve also tried to call and E-mail Erin Camilleri (Gateway director on ND side) for the past week with a few questions I have, but with no luck yet – my dad is going to try to call her tomorrow. May 31 is approaching rapidly, and if anyone who has gotten Gateway could share some received information to put my parents’ minds at ease, that would be great.
@wneely16 I did not apply for FAFSA but am wondering if we are eligible for the merit based aid Holy Cross offers (i read something about it in the booklet they gave me on Friday when I toured). I believe they said that financial aid packages would be available in the next week or so (which makes sense because we have to commit then) but no exact date was given. Also, do any of you Gateway students know of a Facebook group for gateway students yet? If there isn’t one, I’d be happy to make one so we can all get to know each other and choose roommates and all that stuff!
