<p>^ I’m sorry man. What were your test scores/ec’s like?</p>
<p>I’d say sit tight. The college of Arts and Letters always takes a long time to respond to students, so just be patient. At least that’s what they did with me last year. </p>
<p>The biggest problem to all transfers from my opinion is once you get in finding housing. I wasn’t given housing on campus so I had to scramble to find housing off campus. If anyone is looking for housing, and freaking out like I did, just go here: rentlikeachampion.com I got my housing filled out in like a day and the house I’m staying in is pretty awesome. Good luck to everyone else</p>
<p>Tom, very sorry to hear that. And jschappl, thanks for the tip.</p>
<p>@justwondering My grades will come out in July because I’m an international applicant, and I still haven’t taken my finals yet:( I’m trying to ask the AO to convince the committee to make my decision without the final grades. An officer Ms. Chamblee told me that the committee releases decisions every day once they’re made. So if you have turned in your final grades, be patient to wait for the news since it won’t take long to reach you!</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I just found this thread haha. I’ve been waiting for an admissions decision from ND as well. I applied for French Studies in the College of Arts and Letters.</p>
<p>Waiting is probably the most stressful part… But I’m hoping for the best.</p>
<p>I’ve lived at ND for two semesters already (I’m a seminarian at Old College, a dorm on campus). I’m currently an incoming sophomore at Holy Cross College and I even took two French classes at ND during freshman year. I really love the strong academics at ND and the campus life. It’s been great and hopefully I get in!</p>
<p>It sounds like I have been accepted as an Econ major, but still working on whether I could double major or not. Good luck to you all! And caroline I wouldn’t worry too much I don’t think they care if your grades are late (unless you want them to see them if they were much better haha). Anyone have any thoughts on whether we would get housing first semester or where to live?</p>
<p>Hey justwondering246, is Econ a major within the College of Arts and Letters? Also when you found out, was it a large envelope or a regular sized one? </p>
<p>I’m so excited/nervous to find out my admissions decision. I won’t even be able to open the letter myself because I’ll be in Utah and my home address is in California so my brother has to do it for me haha</p>
<p>They send a big envelope if you get accepted :)</p>
<p>Just got the envelope today, and its finally official!! Can’t believe it took more than a year, but I guess the second time is the charm. Anyone else out there get decisions yet?</p>
<p>Hey justwondering, I got accepted today as an econ major as well!!! But I was accepted as a rising sophomore though I applied for junior transfer. I’m facing a dilemma right now between ND and UNC. What do you think? Should I spend one more year studying at ND while the tuition is also higher?</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone!!! I just found out I got into ND! Woohoo!</p>
<p>Congrats to the above 3!</p>
<p>caroline, sorry but I don’t really know of your situation. Did you have enough credit to be a junior, or are you an actual rising junior? Because if you are an actual uprising junior, I doubt Notre Dame would be worth it unless you really want to spend an extra 50k and lose a year.</p>
<p>I’m an actual uprising junior and I’ve got like 100+ credit hours in China already. But my whole family love ND and I think that when talking about national reputation and opportunities for career development, ND is much better than UNC, isn’t it? I hope this one year loss won’t be a big sacrifice. What about you? Made up your mind to ND? Then maybe we’ll have Econ courses together!</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, is it still possible to be taking summer classes this late in the summer? I just received my acceptance into ND, contingent on the completion of summer credits. I’m not quite sure if schools are still enrolling from summer term, nor am I confident that it’s logistically possible because of my internship. Does ND admissions ever work with transfers on these issues?</p>
<p>Hey I was just wondering if any of you who got accepted had a job your freshman year. I am on the fence if I should get one my freshman year because I want to make sure I do good in my academics and get involved in a lot of activities so I can be accepted as a transfer to ND. Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p>I worked during my freshman year. There is a great variety of jobs available, and you can probably find one that fits the number of hours/schedule you want to work. I usually worked about ten hours a week and the pay is around minimum wage. If you have special skills, you can find better paying jobs like working the computer help desk. There are jobs in the dorms, which are convenient, as well as the dining halls, offices, library, bookstore, rec center, etc. Some of the best jobs are in the restaurants on campus, but if they serve alcohol, you have to be at least 21 to work there. There are jobs during special events like conferences or sporting events that do not have a regular schedule, but get you into the event for free as a bonus.<br>
You need to manage your time, but we would occasionally trade shifts if one of us needed to study for an exam or finish a paper.<br>
Jobs are listed on-line and there are signs posted around campus at the first of the semester.
This info applies to ND, but is consistant with what my friends on other campuses tell me. Unless you have no choice, focus on doing well in your studies first, EC’s second, and work (unless it contributes to your resume, like research/work in your major field) last.</p>
<p>I also worked freshman year, but it was only part time in a research lab. I wouldnt suggest working a lot of hours a week (some of my friends seemed to be working non-stop haha). Grades should be a priority. But why are you thinking already of transferring? Your second choice school might suit you fine. You shouldn’t think of your freshman year as just a big resume–I don’t think I did. Just have fun and explore your interests (but don’t be lazy). You might actually start to find out you enjoy the school</p>
<p>Have any statistics for transfer admission 2012 been released yet? If not, when can we expect the release?</p>
