Notre Dame Waitlisted!

<p>eryan92 I heard the same thing from my counselor…keep your fingers crossed I guess</p>

<p>oh no… does anyone know when the started calling last year?</p>

<p>they* sorry hahaha I get bothered by my own spelling/grammar mistakes</p>

<p>so last year the first calls went out on May 7th…any chance that calls will go out today? Or will they probably wait until next week/the week after?</p>

<p>It should be coming soon…
I’m kinda scared because the people above are stating there is little room this year, if any at all</p>

<p>Look at last year’s thread; the counselors all said the exact same thing, then accepted about 100 students from the waitlist. It seems like opacity is their M.O. And, if history is any indicator, it appears that the the first round of waitlist admits should come out this week.</p>

<p>FWIW, I was also listening to a radio show – either Bloomberg or NPR – in which an admissions consultant was discussing the increasing use of the Common App, particularly this year. As a result, she said, many students are applying to more schools; she expects this to translate into lower matriculation rates across the board, and hence, more waitlist action.</p>

<p>My fingers are crossed. My little sister is currently on ND’s waitlist. Good luck to all.</p>

<p>thanks for the positive outlook, jwhite326. i hope they accept more people off the waitlist than they make it seem</p>

<p>oh but since more people applied to more schools using the CommonApp, this doesn’t mean that there will be more waitlist action because as a result, schools are accepting more students since they already saw this coming.</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you!</p>

<p>Is there any chance of hearing from ND tomorrow? and if so, what time should I look to receive the phone call?</p>

<p>Umm i heard they will either start late this week or early next week…
hahaha i’m not sure what time, but i doubt i’m going to be on the first round ):</p>

<p>I know how you feel.</p>

<p>I’ve been deferred, then waitlisted and now still waiting. That’s 8 months, and I’m still not confident.</p>

<p>Hey, I was deferred then waitlisted too hahahaha
Been waiting for so loong, would suck to be a rejection</p>

<p>I’m in the same boat! deferred and then waitlisted :frowning: good luck to all of you!</p>

<p>Anyone hear today…glued to the phone in the Midwest…</p>

<p>Nope, doesn’t seem like it…</p>

<p>Did anyone hear today? Any updates on when we will hear?</p>

<p>people were saying end of this week/early next week</p>

<p>According to my counselor, they are 99.9% sure they will not be going to the wait list this year, here are some quotes from the e-mail.</p>

<p>"We are waiting until Wednesday of this week to assess the final deposit situation. At this time we are well ahead of last year and it appears that we will not be taking students from our wait list. This year the confirmation rate is higher than last year—we had not expected that outcome.</p>

<p>We are waiting three more days in case we get absolutely no deposit mail postmarked by May 2nd …however, it appears from past years we will receive a few more and if this occurs our class will have reached its limit."</p>

<p>“But you should understand we are now 99.9% sure that our class has been filled.”</p>

<p>99.9% not going to the WL…that sucks and I hope you are wrong, lol.</p>
