| Atleast they're taking people off the waitlist. I'm getting really anxious, even more so then when I was waiting for my RD decision. It is just downright annoying to not be certain where you're going. If the waitlist doesn't work out, I'm going to Creighton University. |

| For those that are taken off the waitlist, most will receive a phone call, followed by a DHL package being overnighted. One of the reasons that this process is so drawn out is because they still give the waitlist admitted time to make their decision. In my daughter's case, she was given 8 days to get back to them. For you waitlisted applicants, that is one reason that it is so important to let ND know that you will attend if taken off that list. Admissions does not want to bother with those that won't come. At this point, they want to be done. Best of luck to all! Start posting those decisions when they come! | |

| Good news concerning the waitlist! I spoke with Alisa Fisher last night at an admissions meeting. She said that they will be taking about 100 from the waitlist out of 500. They will start working that today! (I am not sure if that meant they are going to start reevaluating the applications, or starting to make the calls..) For those of you waiting... do not despair. This could drag out for a month or more as they will most likely be going through many more than 100 on that list. (Some will decline ND's offer.) She emphasized during the meeting that to get off that wait list, THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
So... send in those great third quarter grades, awards, anything to enhance your application. Show your interest and why you are a great fit for that school.
Another bit of rather shocking news. She did indicate that if they are alerted that a my space or facebook has something less than flattering, they do investigate. (I don't know how they are alerted? Someone tells on them??)
And... how do they access the profiles on Facebook? Time to clean them up! | |

| momtofour,
That is great news! Thank you so much for posting that information. My D has contacted ND several times and has let them know that she would accept if they offered her admission. She is trying to balance letting them know how much she wants to go there and trying not to over do it. I will let her know about her facebook but I have been on it and haven't seen anything objectionable. | |

| When we were at ND in mid April, Ms. Fisher stated that 1100 were offered places on the waitlist, so less than 50% accepted. Those on the waitlist this is good news, you're chances went up! Please post when you get the phone call. Good Luck. | |
