<p>Haha bigmike I also think I might be switching my major if accepted! I applied to the PLS but I think I’m switching to political science/peace studies. Cannot waitttt!</p>
<p>Arabic Studies here! I have just been notified that I probably won’t have to take any summer courses, if accepted.</p>
<p>TerekS, did they notify you by phone or email?!</p>
<p>well, I had sent them an emailing asking when I would be notified if I was going to have have to take a summer course. They responded (via email) telling me that my application had not been reviewed yet, but by looking at the courses I had taken (31 credits) I probably was not going to have to take any summer classes (if accepted). I initiated the correspondence! This was on Friday, May 20th.</p>
<p>ahh okay thank you! looks like we’re going to have to wait a bit longer if they hadn’t yet reviewed your application :o( !!</p>
<p>Exactly! The wait is killing me though…may I ask what college you went to for your first year?</p>
<p>Me too. Emory, you?</p>
<p>University of Dayton. As long as your credits transfer, you should be fine. Emory has an excellent reputation!</p>
<p>I tried to pay close attention to my courses once I knew I wanted to transfer to ND to make sure that they would! Fingers crosssed from here on out…</p>
<p>Yeah man, good luck! Keep me posted, I will do the same.</p>
<p>They hadn’t reviewed your app yet? That’s kind of a bummer cus that means they probably haven’t reviewed a lot of them.
And I have a friend who actually is transferring out of Dayton this year too! What a coincidence. Though she’s off to Purdue.
I really just wish Arts and Letters didn’t take to long to take action.</p>
<p>That is a pretty big coincidence! Where are you coming from bigmike?</p>
<p>Nothing in the mail today =/</p>
<p>I’m coming from IU Bloomington, and I actually live in South Bend. Went to high school right across the street from ND.
And nothing for me in the mail today either.</p>
<p>Reading your posts takes us back to this time last year. As I said earlier, my son wasn’t notified (Arts and Letters) until June 16th, and he had to take two summer courses so really had to hustle to get signed up – all worked out well though. In another two weeks, you should all know and hopefully be very happy! Next will come the housing lottery. Son didn’t get on-campus so lived very nearby (under 1/4 mile) with a few other kids, had a great time, then got on-campus this past semester. </p>
<p>I’m rooting for all of you - I know what a special place ND is :)</p>
<p>Thank you myoneandonly! June 16th is crazy!! I hope I don’t have to wait that long…but as long as it’s good news, I will wait until August! lol</p>
<p>The huge incoming class makes me really feel like there’s no way we’re gonna get housing on campus. Gaaaaaaaaaah that’s so depressing! I don’t want to have to live with my parents if I’m at ND.
And I don’t know about waiting til August lol. I’m willing to wait until the end of mid-June</p>
<p>You know what I meant! But how big is the incoming class? I wonder if those who were accepted first have an advantage in receiving housing on campus? I heard that a week after the semester starts, a lot of rooms become available.</p>
<p>The freshmen class is big enough that ND didn’t even touch their waitlist. Not sure exactly how much bigger thann they anticipated though.
And as far as I know housing selection is a lottery, so there’s no advanatage. Everyone gets their number once they’re done accepting people.</p>
<p>You’re def. not at a disadvantage even if you’re not notified til Juky 1. They do the transfer housing lottery @July 18th so everyone who has been accepted has an equal chance. Last year, they had @90 male students in the lottery – son got #54. They took the first 20, then, as the start semester commenced, they got to @#48. By about Aug. 1st, son figured he better get something off-campus so got the list of other ND transfers looking for one semester of off-campus housing (this list pops-up on the website once the lottery has taken place). He and the three kids with whom he communicated decided on a rental just under 1/4 mile from campus – 10 min walk to center of campus. As a parent, I was a little hesitant about his being off the first semester but they all had a great time and all 4 got on-campus in January.</p>
