On Thursday, the regional rep from ND will be coming to the Chicago area to discuss admission to the university. I have a daughter there now,(waitlisted a year ago....I know how all of you feel!) and a son who will be applying in a couple of years. If I end up going, I will ask her specifically if they will be going to the waitlist. I will then post when I get back what her response was. My hunch is that she will be non-commital but we will see!
My D emailed her regional rep today and he said they would be taking a "limited number" from the wait list. I have no idea what a limited # is, but at least some will still get the opportunity. I hope you all and my D make it off the waitlist and become great friends from this experience.
eek, "limited number" makes me terribly nervous! but I guess any number could be limited.. right? waiting, is your regional rep bob mundy by any chance?
Keddy, I think the regional reps try to stay a little detached at this stage. No our regional rep is not Bob Mundy. Our regional rep is very polite but seems to give just the information and my D is not great about being able to extract more. Limited could mean anything. If I remember right from last years post the original waitlist number was from 30-50 that was reported and when it was completed it was over 150. Anything is still possible.
Ohio State D says she will have her transfer application before she sets foot the campus though. Miami of Ohio is a great school. I know of 2 people this year that turned down ND for Miami of Ohio. Cost was the deal breaker at ND for them. Hope your Irish come August!!
