Does Notre Dame accept transfer students?

My d was denied admission last year to Notre Dame, despite receiving a merit scholarship to Cornell, and Lehigh. She's currently happy at her school, Bucknell, but it's a little too small. She realizes that since ND was her first choice for many reasons, she might be happier there. She is a business administration major and would be looking for the same at Notre Dame. So, does ND accepts transfers, or are they like Princeton which doesn't accept?

This is actually irish's homepage: http://www.nd.edu/~mnadorff/transfer/

I'm sure you can find what you're looking for somewhere in there.

Sorry guys, I have been insanely busy recently and therefore haven't been on the boards much. Yes, transferring is very possible, obviously, since I now attend ND. ND doesn't accept business transfers anymore but there are ways around this that I can tell you in a PM.

Do check out the website and then PM me or email me with any questions you have or anything you need. This will help ensure that I answer your questions even when I can't make it to the boards much. Good luck!

I had no idea that Mendoza was so competitive. While it may be possible to find some loophole for getting into business, it is still a risk. And that was the same reason we steered clear of Cornell and their AEM program. Business is a very hot major right now, and the private schools who offer it are guarding their enrollment in the program - as they should. I'm not sure if she'll pursue it, but thanks for the info.

It isn't too much of a risk as long as you plan ahead, the main thing is it is just inconvenient! Back in the day when I transferred Mendoza was open but it has since rocketed in the rankings and now everyone is headed in that direction. I wish they would still accept transfers, at least a few, but I am biased on that.

Let me know if you decide to pursue ND. If not, good luck to your daughter.
