Notre Dame Waitlist 2020

My son was too stunned to remember specifics - all he could remember was “a couple days”. He did remember they need an answer by 16th

@ProbDeferred They told me they were going to overnight the information tomorrow, and I guess the acceptance email comes tomorrow too. I forgot to ask about if I had been accepted into Mendoza, so hopefully my letter includes that information haha.

Sigh… no call. good luck to all that got in!

@swimgirl1 Don’t lose hope. If any students decline their waitlist offers, they’ll continue to call more applicants if the coming weeks.

Congratulations to those offered spots today! And for those waiting… this time of year there’s a waitlist shuffle. So there may be more spots offered.

Is it likely that they called all students accepted from the waitlist today or perhaps will be calling more tomorrow?

Huge congrats to all of you guys! I can’t imagine how all of you feel right now - it has to be crazy.

I’m sure there are more calls to be made - I really hope that there are. Again, I’m really happy for those of you that made it.

Congratulations to those who have been called! I’m sure it’s a shock, but a good one.

@wneely16, I’ve been pulling for you. I know you will do well wherever you land and I wish you all the best!

Lurker mom of current ND student

@ProbDeferred and @IvyHopeful98 congratulations! I’ve been hoping and praying for you and others on the waitlist :slight_smile: Pay it forward to other waitlisters in the future and welcome to your home under the dome!

Congrats to those who got in today. Bravo.

@ProbDeferred @IvyHopeful98 What did you do to better your chances of getting off the waitlist?

Got pulled off the waitlist today… easily best feeling ever. To those still waiting: don’t give up! Keep emailing and contacting your representatives, there is absolutely still a chance for all of you! Best of luck and I hope to see everyone on campus this fall!

Congrats to those who go in! @IvyHopeful98 @lknmom @ProbDeferred would any of you mind listing the number they used to call? Thanks so much!

@sonic1998 Congratulations!

@MIichelleMicahel The one thing I did was I kept in contact with the admissions counselor throughout the emigre application process. When she called, she said that they had received all of my emails and knew that I wanted to be there, so they wanted to offer me a spot :slight_smile:

@Lisanity6 They might use different numbers, but the area code was 574.

Sooo happy for you,Ivyhopeful98!! I was praying for you! Your kindness and generosity to others paid off. God was watching!

Since you asked, I emailed my counselor three time over April. The first was a letter restating my interest and desire to still attend Notre Dame and what I could offer. The other two were updates with new things to add to my file. I got the impression my rep appreciated it. That’s really all I did, just talk to my rep. I really didn’t think it would have an effect as I was doing it, but it clearly worked.

Not going to give the phone number, but the area code was 574.

Seriously amazed that I got offered a spot. I had moved on to my next choice because I thought I had no shot but this is incredible. Congrats to everyone else that got accepted and good luck to those still waiting.

@RangerJerry I appreciate the prayers! Like ProbDeferred, I had moved on to Nova, and was about to do all the financials until ND called. I’m still shocked they called me.

Also, in my last post where I typed emigre, I meant entire haha. Dumb autocorrect.

Do we think that they called everybody yesterday?

Has anyone got their electronic acceptance letter yet? I wanna see it so bad haha.

@swimgirl1 I would assume they would call everybody the same day, but that’s not to say it’s impossible they didn’t either. Nobody can say for sure.

Nothing in the mail here yet. My son is not yet home from school so not sure if he got anything electronic from admissions yet.
