<p>Radionicist: Thank you so much, I can definitely sympathize with your son
Notre Dame will still be a part of my life, it just is so sad that I can't live there next year. Part of my doesn't want to think about transferring because then I would go into a school automatically expecting to transfer. THis is definitely the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my life. </p>
<p>vc08: awee thanks, this is making me emotional again seeing how great the ND family really is.</p>
<p>AC we're here for you, good luck. I wish you the best :(</p>
<p>Any word from Tim?</p>
<p>AC419-I feel absolutely terrible for you. I don't know what to say, but you can always transfer in next year if you want. Good luck!</p>

[li] going to attend? Pretty definitely yes, will visit for first time since I was born there and moved at age of two, and unless I get an awful feel for it, then I will def go.</p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]Other Factors: Really, really excited.</p>
<p>vc08 hang in there...it's tough to be waitlisted anywhere! You just never know either...you may get in and love it in the end. To correct one thing though...the legacy numbers are actually that they aim for 25% legacy. The past two years (and maybe more, just not sure) that has fallen short and they have accepted more like 22% and 21%. So, in effect, they would like to have 25%, but won't accept anyone to make the number. </p>
<p>Good luck with your choice~I'm sure it will all work out. You have amazing stats and will do great!</p>
<p>Thanks Irish! I don't remember, have you been admitted, are you a current student, or what?</p>
<p>But thanks for the well-wishes, I'm actually ecstatic with the selection of other schools I have available and feel very fortunate for that. I'm truly blessed! Best of luck in future endeavors to yourself as well!</p>
<p>Putting up stats for my D, we can't seem to land a family member at this school so we can start a legacy....Older sister was wait-listed at ND in '06, and was accepted to Northwestern....</p>

<p>it's the low ACT probably, everything else looks really really great.</p>
<p>I have to agree - it's the low ACT. Did your daughter take the test more than once and if not, why?</p>
<p>Yes, several times. She will always wonder if she should of buckled down more. A bit hard to do with her academics and EC's at the same time.</p>

<p>Where did Tim go? Any idea if he got in?</p>
<p>Check out Wednesday's online edition of The Observer, it will contain the results for this year's admitted class</p>
<p>Congrats to all admitted, PM me if you have any questions</p>
<p>for all of you who arent going. And anyones friends who arent.
You should all call admissions and tell them to let tim have you place.
Do they allow it, no.
But we could try...</p>
<p>tell them to offer Tim and Allie (me)</p>
<p>heycow: she was WL at Northwestern and yes, she was accepted to a small private in IL</p>
