Hi guys! I am very grateful to have gotten accepted into the Notre Dame Gateway program, but I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on this program for me?
Did you apply for the Gateway program or did they just accept you?
I applied to Notre Dame early action and I was notified that I was accepted into the Gateway program tonight.
Do you mind telling us your stats? I am trying to figure out how you get into that program and not denied.
1400 SAT; SAT II: Lit 710, US Hist 630, World 660; APs US 3, Lang 5, World 3, Bio 3; Student Gov Pres, Editor of Yearbook, Soloist for Vocals, Yearbook Editor in Chief
Thanks so much. Looks like a great program. Congrats.
FB67…Our D was just accepted in the Gateway Program and we are going to the info session on 1/25. She is very happy and looking forward to seeing HC and learning more about Gateway from current students and staff. I think the best insight will come from meeting people that have gone through it. Hope you can make it to an info session!
@footballplayer67 D was offered a spot at the Gateway and she just accepted. Thisnopportunity is a blessing!!! She shadowed a ND freshman and met two Gateway students while she was was there. One a sophomore and one freshman. They LOVED the program and had no regrets. We are going to the info session on 2/25.
@lastof10 Thank you so much for your input, I am definitely planning to go to one of the visit days. I think that this will help me to make my decision.
@HM0527 That sounds great! I am hoping to make that visit as well.
If you changed your mind and wanted to switch majors, does anyone know how hard it is to transfer from one school to Mendoza once you are there?
Transfer into Mendoza is competitive but not too difficult, and depends a bit on the desired concentration. Finance is limited even within Mendoza.
FWIW, business consultants get only about half of their hires from B schools. Many come from Arts and Letters majors like Economics.
Thanks for the information. To be honest I am not sure what I want to major at this point. I was just concerned if I go to Notre Dame and took a class in business that I liked, and decided to become a business major it would be impossible to concentrate in something I really wanted to do.
Here is a ND Gateway thread from last year in case anyone wants to read through it.

Anybody have experience with financial aid at Holy Cross for Gateway students? Daughter is excited and we don’t want money to be an issue.
@lastof10 During the Gateway year financial aid will be administered by the Financial Aid Office of Holy Cross College. In order to receive reliable information on your student’s financial aid package, he/she will need to follow HC FA process instructions - outcomes will depend on each family’s financial circumstances and therefore noticeably differ from each other. In any event, HC tuition and fees are significantly below Notre Dame’s for the first year of studies.

With the transfer of your student from HC to ND following the Gateway year, Financial Aid will transfer from Holy Cross to Notre Dame. Both HC and ND require FAFSA information, the Notre Dame Office of Financial Aid will require in addition CSS Profile information. Please make sure for your student to attend one of the Gateway visit days, which do have a specific section on Financial Aid for Gateway students.
Thanks hpcsa! We submitted the FAFSA to HC. Any idea how long it takes HC to process and send the answer? The website just says…a financial aid package will be mailed after it is processed. Thanks!
How do you get accepted into the Gateway Program? Do you apply for it?
@goodjob You cannot apply for the Gateway Program. You apply to Notre Dame and get selected for the Gateway Program. https://admissions.nd.edu/gateway-program/
I am confused who gets chosen. What if you are deferred? Can you let them know you will do the Gateway program?
