<p>Alright someone was asking for this in another thread, so I just decided to post it.</p>
<p>It really is helpful for prospective students ( including myself ) to see the decisions that will begin to roll in. It really does help, so please post.</p>
<p>Good Luck to everyone</p>
<p>Copy and paste the following into the reply. Then fill in the answers. First decision, then SAT scores, etc.
Remove the spaces inside the brackets to make it work...</p>
<p>lets make it a little more easier to read by making ACCEPTED green, REJECTED red, and WAITLIST yellow. Do this by by putting Red, Yellow, or Green in where the word "Red" is right now in the first line.</p>
<p>Also, please post your stats even if you were rejected. I know it may be heartbreaking, but these decisions threads help people gauge what ND tends to accept and what it tends to reject, and thus plan accordingly in future years. Thanks!</p>

<p>When i went to the mailbox today there was a large white envelope. Unfortunately it was just more stuff from St Louis University. It was a big let down to say the least.</p>
<p>I heard that 1978 people were accepted... not sure if that's total or just RD. I also heard that the pool was "much larger" than last year. Godspeed everybody.</p>
<p>i agree. I went to one of the admissions sessions on campus in sept. and they said that they admit around 3600 per year for a yield of around 2000. They said they expected around 13,000 total applicants this year. Good luck to all!!</p>
<p>I actually consider those pretty good odds compared to a lot of other schools. Boston College, for example, got over 28,000 applications for 2250 openings. I don't know how many they admit to get that yield, though.</p>
