Thing is i don’t qualify for any need based aid

[sterile knoll]

[fierce needle]

[broken topaz]

[fierce needle]

[broken topaz]

[sterile knoll]

or ur jsut cracked

[broken topaz]

did you do leadership seminars?

[sterile knoll]

no

i didnt know that was a thing

💀

like

[broken topaz]

im not

[sterile knoll]

dou think leadership semianrs is what got u in

[broken topaz]

oof
yeah not a lot of people do

[sterile knoll]

iheard ls is hard to get into

too

[broken topaz]

it's more selective than the actual university

[long topaz]

Pls get accepted

[sterile knoll]

yeah so u prob would've gotten in rd anyways

[bitter mountain]

Same, Ivy Day is just going to punch me in the face 8 times atp

[sterile knoll]

ditto

[long topaz]

You applied to all 8??? 😭

[sterile knoll]

i applied 4 tho

[long topaz]

i think ur literally the only person who got in and is going

[bitter mountain]

Yeah, rejected Yale REA but I’m including Duke

[long topaz]

answer the poll

[fierce needle]

got berkeley as well right

[sterile knoll]

current resulst

[long topaz]

LOL

[bitter mountain]

No, Duke

[long topaz]

unless ur rea

none of the rd people are going

[bitter mountain]

So I have 7 Ivies and Duke next Thursday

[fierce needle]

oh is it on ivy day?

[bitter mountain]

And lowkey, I’m not getting any of them

[fierce needle]

so i got 8 ivys + duke n ucb

[broken topaz]

im rea

[bitter mountain]

Usually is, yeah

[fierce needle]

im getting 10 smacks

[broken topaz]

And even I'm waiting for ivy day

[bitter mountain]

But I got into William & Mary so it is what it is I guess

[fierce needle]

idk why im so excited for ivy day, my results havent been good at all

[tepid rock]

8 ivies???

[bitter mountain]

I would love Brown or Columbia though

[small heath]

does this mean im getting into yale 😱

[bitter mountain]

I just need one reach

[tepid rock]

correlation not causation

[fierce needle]

im just going to commit to unc atp

[long topaz]

ah
the only rd accepts are a Yale likely and a total rando

[bitter mountain]

7 and Duke

[small heath]

true true

[tepid rock]

unc is a great choice to have tho

[tepid rock]

which one did u not apply to

[small heath]

but my friend who got in rea also got that email

[bitter mountain]

Rejected Yale REA

[tepid rock]

awww im sorry

its ok yale is mid asf anyway

its in new haven

[fierce needle]

ig

[tepid rock]

tf

[bitter mountain]

It’s good, I’ve had a lot of time to get over it lol

I’m glad I won’t be living in New Haven at least

[long topaz]

Not Cornell?? 😭

[broken topaz]

makes sense
almost all of my leadership seminars cohort got in either rea or rd

[fierce needle]

rather be picking between ivys but my stupid ass decided to get some extra Bs this yr

[tepid rock]

bs are not gonna kill u

[jaunty garden]

my rejections so far have been chicago, mit, and northeastern

[small heath]

ill cut my fingers and toes for yale

[fierce needle]

still prob wouldnt get into ivies

[bitter mountain]

I love Cornell so much, and I loved my essays, but I feel like the readers will reject me out of spite

[small heath]

my first rejection will probably be next week

[eternal escarp]

Waitlisted anyone know how many ppl r waitlisted

[small heath]

with the bloodbath that is march 26

[bitter mountain]

Honestly any confidence I had just got smothered by Notre Dame’s admissions office

[jaunty garden]

all independent

[fierce needle]

i mean you want upwards trajectory... I got straight As in 9th and tenth, and then got a B in multivariable calc n apush last yr and ap physics n research this year

[bitter mountain]

Usually around 1,500, and they let in like 60-100

[fierce needle]

i shouldnt have taken 20 aps

[jaunty garden]

Because I got scared when I got rejected northeastern which was my first decision for RD

[eternal escarp]

Thanks!

[tepid rock]

each committee is separate!!! notre dame is not indicative of others

[broken topaz]

same
i feel like my high will turn low next week

[bitter mountain]

True, but it’s still so scary

[fierce needle]

course rigor is not worth the gpa drop if u slip up

[eternal escarp]

Ngl I’m happy asf to be waitlisted

[bitter mountain]

This is true

[eternal escarp]

I was rejected from all my early schools

[fierce needle]

it is for me

[tepid rock]

u also have a yale likely lol? why r u scared

[bitter mountain]

I know Harvard won’t happen, I didn’t get an interview

[fierce needle]

usually u see people who get into the ivies get WL

from most schools

[tepid rock]

not true

[jaunty garden]

something something aid and choices

[bitter mountain]

Which was confusing because I got Duke and Yale interviews

[long topaz]

I have a straight downwards trajectory and am fine lol

[tepid rock]

ah was yale aid not what u expected

[fierce needle]

where r u going

[bitter mountain]

Maybe I need to lock in

[tepid rock]

northwestern

[jaunty garden]

we dont have yale aid yet

[fierce needle]

OK 🔥

[tepid rock]

ah i got mine in the mail

when did u submit ur last docs?

[jaunty garden]

OH i got a letter saying they needed a verification form for my counselor

I submitted that a week or two ago

like a noncustodial parent waiver

[tepid rock]

hopefully it comes soon!!

but you'll prob get it with ur letter on the 27th

[jaunty garden]

yeah most likely

[tepid rock]

i was so happy to get mine in the mail omg they were so generous

praying they are generous for you <3

[long topaz]

Gang this is a question completely unrelated to notre dame but is there a way to get my financial aid reevaluated after a year of school if I experience a major change in my financial situation

[tepid rock]

yeah

[jaunty garden]

you do fasfa every year no?

[tepid rock]

they reevaluate fin aid every year

[broken topaz]

i heard somewhere it's 8% acceptance rate

for rea and rd combined

[jaunty garden]

Oh hell nah

Thats from 11% last year

[long topaz]

let’s go

[tepid rock]

well they became needblind

[long topaz]

i needa have a job freshman year which sucks but this is good for me

[tepid rock]

so overall acceptance rate decreases

[tepid rock]

its ok i believe u can manage it

[broken topaz]

rea was 13 this year
usually it's around 15

[long topaz]

i honestly might be cooked anyways but we can hope !

[broken topaz]

they had a massive spike in applications

especially internationals

[long topaz]

Northwestern is easier to get into right so i have hope for finding friends in rd

😭

pls

[jaunty garden]

11% combined i think

last year

[sterile knoll]

well his was a day before aacceptance date

[small heath]

true true

let me just be delusional

[broken topaz]

hmm
this year tho it's pretty expected to be in the single digits

[vapid spindle]

reminder to do the poll 🫡

[broken topaz]

make a column for rea
or is there already a poll

[long topaz]

the rea poll was months ago

😭

[broken topaz]

i was sleeping sorry lmao

it's fine

[wheat spoke]

wait so who got in?

[tepid rock]

noone who is going

unfortunately

lol

[wheat spoke]

damn

1984

[small heath]

[zealous sky]

is there a known waitlist acceptance rate?

[sick tree]

waitlisted cs bruh

[small heath]

yk im surprised i didnt get rejected from notre dame

i sent them an update letter on feb 28 addressed “dear cornell”

[broken topaz]

imagine they send you a new update with someone else's name

[small heath]

LMAO

[eternal escarp]

heard its like 5-10%

depends on the year

with trumps administration might be higher imo

since ppl might not be able to get visas

[thorny hawk]

denied

as a catholic

[molten stirrup]

what's the acceptance rate for rd here

[vapid spindle]

seemingly quite low 😭

[bitter mountain]

Waitlisted as a Catholic

[small heath]

[tepid rock]

I didnt get a result????

(i didnt apply)

[turbid fern]

rejected as a hindu atheist

[lean shore]

😔

i liked nd cuz it got bengal bouts

[broken topaz]

[winged trench]

[sterile knoll]

U STILL MADE IT

[eternal escarp]

guys does anyone have any tips for loci?

like how long shouldl they be, what should they have?

should i be adding my updates in the letter or separately cause nd gives u the option to do it separately

so i was thinkgin just talking more abt why i want to go to the school

[sterile knoll]

idk

imma just talk about how much respect i have for the school

like they pray in the grotto after the admissions process and everything

so cool

[solemn kettle]

bullet points

[fierce needle]

congrats dude

this also gives me some hope, considering ive been rejected from washU, uchicago and notre dame now

[eternal escarp]

[fierce needle]

every remaining t20 apart from stanny

[eternal escarp]

oooh gl

also waiting

[eternal escarp]

[eternal escarp]

[fierce needle]

💀

[eternal escarp]

still a bit salty

[eternal escarp]

💀

that act sucks LMAO

[fierce needle]

im super salty cuz you never know what happens

[eternal escarp]

ye i fear i would live in a constant state of regret

[fierce needle]

yeaaa but i didnt like nu that much anyways ngl

i just thought it was my best shot at a t10

[eternal escarp]

it was prob for the best then

[fierce needle]

true

rejection is just redirection sometimes

[fierce needle]

ah

i thought about it

in the end i narrowed it down to uchicago n northwestern

[eternal escarp]

oh damn

i got rejected uchicago too lol

did u apply rd for chicago?

i heard its less than 1% acceptance rd

thats why i just last minute applied ea

[fierce needle]

i applied ea

deferred into rejection

[eternal escarp]

aw honestly i think u have a shot at other schools if u got deferred uchicago tho

[fierce needle]

they defer everyone

lol

every school i got deferred does

[eternal escarp]

I mean I got rejected lol and my friend got rejected ed

[fierce needle]

oh maybe they dont then

but lowk my applicant got worse i think

RD

i ended up getting a B in ap physics C and ap research, but also ended up getting an A in linear algebra and an A- in differential equations, for which the transcripts were not available or completed by the time of EA

so idk if it evens out or

[eternal escarp]

Oh idk I’m in ib so there’s no letter grades

It’s a bit diff

[broken topaz]

any of y'all going to the rally

[winged trench]

[simple carbon]

real shit allat for rejections 💔

[broken topaz]

nah I did css

[winged trench]

i made a drug categorization automated machine that helped with categorizing medicine according to their expiry date, it was implemented by ngos nationwide for medical camps

[broken topaz]

i got my accountant to do it ngl

[winged trench]

i think that helpde alot

[simple carbon]

css made me realize how poor i am

[winged trench]

real..

also volunteered at a church and hepatitis/covid/hiv testing

in jails

so it was all service related

i think it was mostly due to fit honestly, i think nd has a huge emphasis on community service right

god damn ines though

its so cool seeing another intl

is there a gc or server or anything?

also are u certain on going to nd or are u waiting for others

[broken topaz]

holy shit
mine was a lil chill
I ran an ngo that directly impacted 5000+ people in tribal areas
and I had this business with a very big esg aspect and plus I founded a bunch of clubs and founded one of the biggest muns in my region

[broken topaz]

im waiting

[winged trench]

amazing

[broken topaz]

nope not yet
but dw I'll be the first to know if there is

[winged trench]

mine was all health related and teaching related

uhh

[broken topaz]

mine was full business and leadership

[winged trench]

sign language workshops in school, and teaching at a school for deaf, hiv research to helpfind affordable treatments for children

etc etc

[broken topaz]

everything I did I had a leadership position

[winged trench]

[broken topaz]

one of my closest friends is going to jhu bme

[winged trench]

im mendoza too, first major was management, second was biology at college of sciences, it didnt specificy which major in my acceptance letter though

ngl im kinda intimidated

cuz everyone ik has told me that nd is super white and i wont make friends

how has ur experience been

[broken topaz]

look at the sheedy family honors program

[broken topaz]

incredible
I made some of my closest friends there

[winged trench]

I reallyyy hope i can fit in somehow

like thats the only part im kinda nervous about

[broken topaz]

nuhuh
it's very easy to
they all loved me and were great with me and still are

and I was the only kid from india there so it was even more scary for me

[winged trench]

thats very reassuring lol

idk if ill be the only pakistani, ik ill not be the only korean though for sure

[broken topaz]

dw about it
but I will say your experience probs won't be same as mine

[winged trench]

how come

[broken topaz]

im very very very extroverted I just go up to random people and say hi

[winged trench]

i mean ofcourse everyone's experience is different but

[winged trench]

oh yeah that tracks

im not too extroverted honestly

[broken topaz]

and I can speak to anyone about anything

[winged trench]

but i like to think im a friendly person if talked to, im not at all into sports though lol

[simple carbon]

i wanna know more about your helicopter

[broken topaz]

it's not that deep
you'll find plenty of people with other interests

[broken topaz]

it's not mine it was my second cousin's

[winged trench]

ines are u commited to nd?

[broken topaz]

nope not yet I'm waiting for my RDs

[winged trench]

also guys.. my dad doesnt realize how big of a deal getting into nd is, he is lowkey skeptical on sending me cuz he thinks its "just a college with a good football team" idk how i can convince him just how good it is 😭 he wants me to do mdeicine here and then go

its so frustrating

[winged trench]

i think im peaking with nd lol

maybe cornell

MAYBEEEE nu

but yeah im not getting into penn/yale/stanny

[broken topaz]

i made my dad meet like the profs and everything so I'm fine but if I was you I'd look for the Pakistan or korea club head and speak to them

and get them to speak to your dad

[winged trench]

ohh

theres clubs for countries??

[broken topaz]

just email admissions

[winged trench]

uhhh

wow

[broken topaz]

yesir

[winged trench]

ok yeah ima do that

if i can get them to talk to my dad it would be so great

even profs, but im sure theyre too busy to convince someones kid to come to their already well established college lol

ill email

[broken topaz]

yeah just ask about

the club head

[winged trench]

oh i gotchu 🙏

thanks for the help

which rd colleges would u choose over nd?

[broken topaz]

dartmouth cornell wharton harvard stanford

these are my only 5 rds

wbu

[winged trench]

cornell northwestern penn stanford

nd was one of the top colleges on my list

i dont think id choose amherst/swat/bowdoin over nd lol

or case, boston college

i got into bc too but idt ill go

uva too but its too expensive

[broken topaz]

bc is eh
nd better

[wheat spoke]

also looking at rankings for top catholic schools im surprised ND isnt first

ive legit NEVER heard of Georgetown

either way i think ND is the best for catholic stuff anyway

[eternal escarp]

What 😭

[wheat spoke]

a lot of schools kinda just spawned in once i looked at the rankings lol

like ive never heard of washu, jonhs hopkins, northwestern, or carnegie mellon until college admission season

[eternal escarp]

Lmao that’s act crazy

I never heard of nd until I was applying

Didn’t know northwestern too

[sterile knoll]

true

i heard that they pray at the grotto before submitting admissions

[wheat spoke]

oh rlly?

[sterile knoll]

yeah

[wheat spoke]

what drew me in was the chapel dorms

[sterile knoll]

r u catholic

[wheat spoke]

i dont think GT or BC has those

[wheat spoke]

yea

[sterile knoll]

yeah its really cool

like i think they have a priest assigned to each dorm

[wheat spoke]

yeah they do

[sterile knoll]

and for their football, they have service before

[wheat spoke]

they even take altar servers at the basilica

[sterile knoll]

and st pendants

[wheat spoke]

for each mass

and they have a spanish mass

like my mom and i asked the priest at my church for his opinion

[sterile knoll]

ooh thats cool

do they have latin

[wheat spoke]

and he said ND is the best option

[wheat spoke]

i dont know

probably?

lemme chech

[sterile knoll]

ND is the best if u wanna go to a good school thats also catholic

[wheat spoke]

yeah

[sterile knoll]

but overall wise

prob not

its def one of hte most conservative out of any of the t20

or t50 for that matter tbh

[limber crater]

[zealous sky]

I got waitlisted as an international but a girl from my hometown got in after ea deferral with an sat of 1380

I was test optional but would sending my 1400 help or hurt my chances of getting out of the waitlist?

[thin yoke]

A 1400 isn’t a bad score….

Going test op could mean u either got a 1450 or a 1000

[small heath]

which is why test required helps kids in the 1350-1400+ range

i thinku hsould submit

1400 is a good score, if its above ur school average, which im guessing it is, unless its super competitive, theyll view it as a positive

because the sat is standardized and everyone takes the exam under college i think it gives them some reassurance that u can score well on an exam that they're familiar with, atleast thats my opinion

esp because ur an intl

[simple carbon]

won't help tbh

where are you from

[zealous sky]

school avg was between 1050-1100 and country avg was around 1000

I have a GPA of ~95.5 which puts me around the top 20% of my class

[simple carbon]

r u like latam

[zealous sky]

yeah

[simple carbon]

ahh this makes sense

[zealous sky]

wait why?

[simple carbon]

u can probably submit a 1400 from latam

If I got waitlisted to Notre Dame but got into a T10 early, can I kind of like wager it in my LOCI?

[long topaz]

No 💀

you most certainly cannot

the fuck would you even say

[frail forum]

I'm just getting delulu 😭
ND was my dream 💔
Over any ivy and they WL'ed

But thanks lol

[long topaz]

😭😭 i mean i get that but like

what t10 LOL

[frail forum]

I don't want to say the name for personal rzns but it is an ivy

Top 4 ivies

Arguable

[small heath]

uh ivies only do ED for early....unless it's HYP which in that case you should attend over notre dame 😭

[frail forum]

No I love ND 😭

[small heath]

well if u mention the HYP in ur LOCI ND is just gonna reject you bc theyre gonna assume you're gonna go there

[tepid rock]

im gonna assume i know what school it is… you would to to nd over there?

[frail forum]

yes i would. tbh it's only an hard choice if i factor in prestige

[tepid rock]

oh ok

well i would just commit to the school and the pray for waitlist

worst case scenario.. ur going to a t10 lol

and if you get off the WL, you just lose ur deposit

u can try and get a refund but they might say no

[blissful sorrel]

"ivies only do ED" proceeds to say almost half of the ivies dont have ED

[small heath]

well i wasn't going to list them out individually 💀. it's a fact; all of them do ED except HYP

[blissful sorrel]

not all of them do then lmao

thats the point

[eternal escarp]

well based off of the dudes post history it doesnt seem like its hyp

mb they were talking abt ivy+

[long topaz]

its gotta be y

lol

[broken topaz]

might be a likely letter

[eternal escarp]

post history does not say that tho 😭

[eternal escarp]

e h mb

intl student tho with likely letter is insane

[broken topaz]

i know a friend of mine who got it he's in the UK tho

he got columbia engineering

[eternal escarp]

oh that insane congrats to him

[austere moth]

anyone here who is attending the rally?

[small heath]

giving up my waitlist spot! #yale29

[austere moth]

congrats 🎉 @small heath

[winged trench]

we shoudld make a nd discord server ngl..

[austere moth]

there is a gc ! on instagram ! dm me your @ and i can add you

[winged trench]

oh ok

thank yoU!

[broken topaz]

ive sent you a dm

[ivory forge]

Thanks

Notre Dame Waitlist. Please 😭

[sterile knoll]

PLEASE

A CEPT ME

[narrow cosmos]

withdrawing from the waitlist too!

[ivory forge]

was there even a poll for notre dame decisions

honestly thought about this for days

[sterile knoll]

real

[ivory forge]

Relying too much on Notre Dame Waitlist is bad for my emotional health 😭

[winter sentinel]

How many people do they take from the waitlist on average?

[ivory forge]

I think around 70-100

[ivory forge]

I think it fluctuates a lot but if I were to predict then the yield rate would go up. It's had a positive trend so they may accept less from the waitlist 😭

But hopefully God didn't put us on the waitlist for nothing

[winter sentinel]

Yes. We need those spots 😭

[winter sentinel]

Of how many? On average

[ivory forge]

about 1100

so around a 10% acceptance rate

[winter sentinel]

Gulp

Well

[ivory forge]

more or less higher chances objectively since acceptence rate was 7%

[winter sentinel]

This year is 9% I heard

Soooo

[ivory forge]

7

[winter sentinel]

Oh was it 7?

Oh damn

Same as Amherst I think

[ivory forge]

oh sorry 9

mb

[winter sentinel]

It’s fine

Okay so basically similar chances again

[ivory forge]

SOme waitlisted guys won't send a LOCI
And some may not have strong LOCIs due to senioritis

[winter sentinel]

Let’s just pray that everyone declines their spots/doesn’t commit

[winter sentinel]

Yes. True

[ivory forge]

yes but institutional priorities could give you a huge boost or the other way around

[winter sentinel]

Do you know what they are?

[ivory forge]

Yh I think ND didn't rlly consider religion. This cycle was rlly tough so there were a lot of admits in multiple places. The yield rate may drop significantly

[winter sentinel]

As long as we get in… the finer details don’t matter to me 😁

We can worry about alladat later

[ivory forge]

Nope. I'm african. I know they only took 14 africans (54 countries) or so but took around 9 brazilians gosh

[winter sentinel]

DAMN

[ivory forge]

Frrr

[winter sentinel]

what country (iydm)

[ivory forge]

dm

[winged trench]

where do u check stats

[ivory forge]

didn't really check per say

Just had a cousin that got admitted and is on the whatsapp group

Then an AO was saying the numbers

[winged trench]

ohhh

[zealous sky]

Do they start accepting people off the waitlist between may 3-15 or has there been movement already?

[sterile knoll]

any movement yet?

[winter sentinel]

None that I’ve seen

But yeah should be 3-15 May

[winged trench]

hoping yall get off the waitlist

[ivory forge]

Any news on the WL gang?

[winter sentinel]

None here 💔

[ivory forge]

I don't know why but haven't heard of many notre dame admits as compared to schools with similar yield to its last year peak (60%) like duke

[narrow cosmos]

Yes

My friend got off a few days ago

Hes not going tho idt

[sterile knoll]

oh 😭

so i might be cooked

[ivory forge]

damn

[ivory forge]

hopefully, that's good 💀

[eternal escarp]

rlly?

[narrow cosmos]

Yes

[narrow cosmos]

I think he committed in case he flunks his a levels and doesn’t meet the grade requirement but I’m not sure if he’s ACTUALLY going

[eternal escarp]

it's may 3rd

do we think notre dame's yield was amazing this year

💀

someone on reddit got a lor request from notre dame

so i feel like waitlist will move at leats a t iny bit this year

[ivory forge]

can you send the link

[sterile knoll]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1kcaz6b/waitlist_rec_letterim_done_for/

[ivory forge]

danggg

the fact notre dame explicitly told us not to send in rec letters

but asked from someone

surely, it's a good sign for him

[winter sentinel]

Are we cooked then ?? 😭🙏

[eternal escarp]

mb lmao

[winter sentinel]

Nah all good. Let’s just keep praying

[ivory forge]

yh let's keep the faith up

it can't get worse

[winter sentinel]

I kinda hope they email me instwad

Any unsaved number that calls my phone can’t get through 💀

Idk how to fix it

[eternal escarp]

they do email you

but they also call u

historically notre dame only sends liek acecptances for one week

so honestly its prob from now until may 10th or wtv

[winter sentinel]

Gulp

I have seen people getting in during June - August. But no more than like 5 TOTAL 💀

[eternal escarp]

rlly?

i havent rlly seen that

its all usualyl very early

and then mb theres like 1 or 2 who get in later

but its mainly through gateway

[ivory forge]

do internationals get gateway?

[winter sentinel]

That’s what randoms scrolling gets you

I’ve also seen that they have a second waitlist

And keep people on during that June - August period as I said hefore

[winter sentinel]

Don’t know

[eternal escarp]

i think so idk?

[eternal escarp]

LOL i saw that too

that was just cruel tbh

that was last year or two years ago right?

[ivory forge]

dang

that's rlly wild

[ivory forge]

i hope so

[winter sentinel]

I think both

[ivory forge]

hang on. is it a good idea to show interest in gateway. yk that form they asked us to pick something in

[eternal escarp]

i mean i said yes

i said yes to everything

;but realistically idk if i would do gateway

if i wanted to transfer i might as well just transfer from the uni im alr committed to

[ivory forge]

true

but i think holy cross is guaranteed or something

[eternal escarp]

thats gateway right?

[ivory forge]

yes

[eternal escarp]

ye tahts guaranteed with a specific gpa

[ivory forge]

yh 3.5 😭

[eternal escarp]

idk personally i dont rlly want to transfer

i just want to stay in a uni for all 4 yearas preferably

do we even know how the yeidl was for notre dame this year

i feel like its higher bcs of their need blind admissions

but also with the politics it might be lower

[ivory forge]

they admitted anticipating a 70% yield rate. Last year was their highest ever with 62%

Considering that they became need blind I'll say many just applied (internationals) cuz of the policy

so i'm anticipating a lower yield

[eternal escarp]

when did they say that?

[eternal escarp]

oh rlly

[ivory forge]

i calulated their avergae class size and how many guys they admitted this year from rea+rd

even if they meet their all time highest yield rate, they'll still have to turn to the waitlist

[eternal escarp]

whats their class size?

and how many ppl did they admit

[ivory forge]

but considering how competitive this year was, i think therer were a lot of students that got into multiple top schools

[eternal escarp]

is it that much over the class size

[ivory forge]

ive forgotten the numbers but ill check now

Class size: 2080-2090

admitted: 3186~

[eternal escarp]

they admitted 3186

[ivory forge]

yes so they over-admitted 1000

2080/3186 = their anticipated yield

oh dang. they anticipated 65%

[eternal escarp]

ye

....

:slku

💀

its over LMAO

[ivory forge]

no it's not over lol

[ivory forge]

best was 61% i think for their yield

[eternal escarp]

ye last year

idk if the yield increases im not sure...

well i do think the waitlist will move

[ivory forge]

this year was very competitive. im quite sure there were more admits that got offers from other unis

[eternal escarp]

but not a lot

idk what other schools r u waiting for

[ivory forge]

yes posssibly not a lot

[ivory forge]

colby, reed and minerva 💀

[eternal escarp]

ah

i declined colby waitlist

gl with that

i heard colby alr started admitting ppl off

[ivory forge]

thanks 🙏

[ivory forge]

yes i heard so too. i got a positive response from an ao when i updated them again tho. like he congratulated me on a selective program i got into

[eternal escarp]

oh damn i think u have a good chance for colby then

[ivory forge]

fingers crossed 😭 🙏

[ivory forge]

if you watch ray williams johnson's content, mantai was a notre dame student 😭

[sterile knoll]

pls take me off wl

i rejected colby uva and nyu bc of costs 😭

[winter sentinel]

Real

[eternal escarp]

gah any day now

[winter sentinel]

Yes 🙏

[zealous sky]

Has there been movement yet?

[eternal escarp]

idk 💀

it might be today

ive been looking at this one persons post on reddit who got an lor requested form them

they might get off today

[winter sentinel]

Can you send the link to that please

[eternal escarp]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1kcaz6b/waitlist_rec_letterim_done_for/

[winter sentinel]

Damn

That person in a very tough spot

[ivory forge]

he sent his two rec letters from techers of subjects that were not core i think?

it's reasonable they asked everyone that did the same thing

[winter sentinel]

Yes

I don’t know a school that doesn’t recommend core subjects for LOD

LOR*

I do think they are considering this person seriously

But at the same time they might just need the core subject letter to either strongly accept or strongly reject 😭

Nah I mean. They would’ve asked earlier if they wanted to accept the person normally (RD)

Yk what I mean

[eternal escarp]

rlly?

i dont think so

wahts the point of even asking anymore

unless ur gonna admit someone

theres no point going to such lengths just to get a lor when ur not gonna admit them

[winter sentinel]

Yeah valid

A 48hr turnaround is unreal though

[ivory forge]

yh i get

[ivory forge]

It's the fact they said we shouldn't send in additional lors. so asking for one is twice as special

[winter sentinel]

So how long should we wait until we realise we’re cooked😭

[eternal escarp]

i think we are alr cooked

its ok tho

[winter sentinel]

Gulp

Nah I need to get in man 😭🙏

[eternal escarp]

ru committed anywhere rn?

[winter sentinel]

Not to a US college, no

[eternal escarp]

ah lol same

[winter sentinel]

I’ve committed to a UK one but I’d much rather ND

[eternal escarp]

oh damn uk

i rlly regret not applying to uk

💀

[winter sentinel]

You might as well have tbh

Why not

[eternal escarp]

bcs it just seemed to time consuming

i did ib too 💀

which makes me regret it even more

kinda did ib for no reason now lmao oh well

[winter sentinel]

Oh yh you really should’ve 😭🙏

UK unis love IB

[eternal escarp]

ye 💀

bro i cant believe i did this to myself lmao

also uk admissions r so muhc more fair

than us admissions

[winter sentinel]

🤣🤣🤣

[eternal escarp]

no legacy, etc.

[winter sentinel]

Well UK is basically just.. do you have all A’s?

Yes? We’ll take you

No? Find somewhere else

[eternal escarp]

oh rlly?

damn

my school rarely has anone applying to uk

last time was like 2 years ago

hes at oxford now

[winter sentinel]

Well for the best unis, yeah it’s like that

[zealous sky]

Do you guys think there will ve any movement this year?

[eternal escarp]

took one for the team and just sent them an email

atp idrc if sending that email screwed my chances lol

the wait is too distracting and i have exams 💀

[winter sentinel]

As long as it moves for everyone waitlisted here 🙏

But there should be a little

[winter sentinel]

Real

[winter sentinel]

One person on reddit thinks there won’t be any movement

And that it might be similar to 2022 where one person reached out to the admissions office and they said they aren’t pulling anyone from the waitlist

[eternal escarp]

i dont think this is true

[winter sentinel]

Hey, just what I’m seeing online 🤷‍♂️

But it is May 7 already…

[zealous sky]

I don’t think it’s true either

They have until may 15th and extrapolating from previous years they usually send updates by the end of this week

[eternal escarp]

if we think abt this logically

yield is proib higher bcso f their need blind admissions

but due to the presidency yield also might be lower bcs of visa delays and stuff

but i feel like yield might be higher this year

[zealous sky]

I’ve also seen a large quantity of people rejecting Notre Dame for an ivy or another t20, but that data might be skewed tbf

[ivory forge]

need blind/need aware only affects number of applicants. not yield

their fin aid was still the same

[ivory forge]

This is what I've seen a lot. And committing tiktok trends, I've seen over 25 videos on tiktok and just 4-6 ND students

[winter sentinel]

Ok yeah this is very true

I have RARELY seen a ND logo pop up

[winter sentinel]

Ig let’s just wait and see

[eternal escarp]

i wouldnt say that tbh

bcs a lot of intl students prob got accepted

and there's a higher chance that they would have committed

someone said this tho

but i dont think this is true cause doesnt it say may 3rd-15th on the website

[winged trench]

not true i think

they recently started osmething called pathways to nd under the new president (who also introduced intl need blind admissions), so their aid is much more generous now

[eternal escarp]

guys

i got a response from notre dame.

the waitlist has moved

theyve alr been admitting ppl

they said the waitlist has admitted ppl yesterday and today so mb theres a round today

and they also said they polan to have anothe round mb mid may

also i think im cooked lol 💀 cause i think my ao just feels sorry for me

[winter sentinel]

Gulp

[zealous sky]

Anyone knows at what time they usually call?

[eternal escarp]

someone got off the waitlist today

in the morning

usually its 4pm est tho

[winter sentinel]

Damn

[winter sentinel]

Another person off the waitlist

Saw it on Reddit

[eternal escarp]

im pretty sure that was the same person i was talking abt

[winter sentinel]

I think it’s someone new?

[eternal escarp]

no

thats the one i was talking abt

they posted on a2c

[winter sentinel]

Oh my bad 💔

[fading frigate]

Y’all how good is CS at notre dame

[sterile knoll]

no clue

i’m going for the culture

[ivory forge]

is it the same recommendation guy

[ivory forge]

Someone from my school got off the waitlist for Brown and stayed committed to ND 😭

Looks like I'm out of the race gng

[winter sentinel]

Oh damn

Sorry bro

[winged trench]

im surprised at how many people are choosing nd over ivies

this girl in our gc chose it over yale and columbia

hopefully u still get in tho 🤞

[zealous sky]

If we haven’t heard back yet, we’re probably cooked right?

[winter sentinel]

Very much so 😭

[sterile knoll]

any news?

fuck bruh

[ivory forge]

nah bro

[ivory forge]

I think there was movement yesterday

[zealous sky]

will they notify when they no longer will be using the waitlist?

[winter sentinel]

Probably

And I’m guessing it would be by the end of this week

[ivory forge]

i guess the movement was indeed really small

[winter sentinel]

Yeah

[zealous sky]

I wonder if they’ll confirm they are no longer using the waitlist

[winter sentinel]

Probably will do this tomorrow

[ivory forge]

update us when u do

[sterile knoll]

anyone get off waitlist soon?

[ivory forge]

got emailed a while back

it was kinda low info

they basically said they are evaluating the class and are usnure if they'll use the waitlist for now

[eternal escarp]

what???

wait i dont think ive ever gotten an email from them lmao

honestly atp idrc anymore

[ivory forge]

nooo

i emailed first

[winter sentinel]

I think atp. Might aswell call it a day and start prepping for the uni you’ve actually committed to

[eternal escarp]

where are the rejections bro 💀

[ivory forge]

fr

[eternal escarp]

I think they just sent rejections lmao

[winter sentinel]

Ah yes

[sterile knoll]

?

what did the email say

never seen that before
