@HM0527, I also am hoping that we hear from you.
@TXDad23 I also got into the gateway programā¦very excited but I will need to look into it more before making any decisions
Congrats to all that were accepted! I was denied ?. Catholic White male from Chicago suburbs 3.75 UW and 35 ACT (one sitting). Ton of AP and good subject scores (math 800, Physics 770). Thought my essays were good too. No hooks/no legacy . But things happen for a reason so Iām ok with this. Iāll still root for the team in the cotton bowl! good luck everyone.

@TXDad23 congrats! Our D was offered a spot to Gateway as well. We are thrilled. She will most likely accepted. She met two kids that are a part of this program when she shadowed at ND and they loved it!
Is there a facebook page for accepted students?
Hi All! New here and just want to say our Daughter was also offered a spot with the gateway program. We were all caught off guard as we knew nothing about it. I actually thought it was a rejection letter when I read the first sentence. Prayers are answered - just not what you are expecting! Reviewing info on website and signing up for the info session. Daughter happy and interested! The posts are reassuring and helpful! Thank you!
rejected lol jokes this was one of my top and honestly my guidance counselor even listed it as a target for me

@lastof10 congrats to your D.
Congratulations to the accepted ND REA students and their parents, as well as to those deferred to RD - you are still in the race.
For those who have been offered Holy Cross/Notre Dame Gateway program, which is excellent, please find a link to an Observer article you may find useful:

Last but not least, to the students and their parents whose REA applications have unfortunately been declined, it is still early in the application cycle and experience suggests that most RD applications are being submitted after early decisions have come out - make best use of additional attractive RD application opportunities, in order to compare resulting RD admission offers with your respective state flagships. If you would like to PM me, please feel free to do so.
Excited to say son#2 will be joining his brother at ND next year! Best of luck to everyone on this thread. Itās been a crazy, stressful couple of months!
@cubswin2016 Iām sorry you were not accepted, but with an attitude like yours, you are going to go far in life. Best wishes in the future!
@HM0527 Congratulations! I am so relieved and happy to read your news!
@angelnicole I am sorry! Best wishes with your other applications!
Hey everyone, I donāt know if you are aware, but the Fordham decisions were posted last nightā¦earlier than expected!
Joining the forum to congratulate everyone who got in and wishing luck to those who got deferred!
