Denied after being deferred. 4.0W 1570 SAT 8 APs all 5s from Catholic school.
Congrats to those who got in. Really pissed they strung my kid along for another 4 months. It’s just not cool.

Waitling List 
rejected intl - I think I was a little liberal for ND in my essays
Rejected 
This was THE reach school, so was not expecting otherwise…just secretly manifesting a win 
On the positive side, it would’ve been a battle in our house if D25 did get in because her heart wasn’t there and she is so excited to attend her top choice. Also, it just saved us/her a significant amount of

Congratulations to those who have been accepted! Best school out there in my opinion. Go Irish!! 
Here’s to hoping (manifesting) my next child has a chance in a couple years

Waitlisted, International student from Ireland and i didnt input my religion on common app, Top 3%, test optional, RD applied for financial aid, a lot of internatinal awards and spike in community engagment ecs, im happy about the waitlist tbh
Son rejected after being deferred. 3.9, 33 ACT, amazing EC’s and recommendations, coming from a Jesuit school. He is disappointed but he also got into another one of his favorite schools, so he is trying his best to shake it off. I’m kind of surprised he didn’t get waitlisted or Gateway. God knows best. This wasn’t in the plan. Congrats to everyone that got in. You’ll have a great four years!

You have the best attitude, I love it.
What is your son planning to study? He sounds like he has great options.

Thank you. He is looking to study history or psychology followed by law school. Saying all this, it’s a plan from an 18 year old. It can change! Maybe he will go to graduate school at ND! Only God knows!

Daughter accepted into Gateway. Don’t know much about it. Any feedback?

Gateway is a very established program designed to get students ND values to attend ND but do not have the capacity to accept outright. For a student who views ND as their number one absolute choice, it is a very attractive option. Almost all Gateway students end up at Notre Dame…and have been shown to be just as successful as ND admits out of high school. But you have to attend Holy Cross for a year and be ok with that. I believe that you would have complete access to ND clubs, football tickets, etc. BUT you will still be attending Holy Cross for your Freshman year. I knew students that were just not prepared to deal with that and, not surprisingly, they had other good options. Check it out!

I think they also get to take one class a semester at ND during that first year.
This sounds so irrelevant but for their social media etc… what do they put that out as their school? My daughter hung up on posting Holy Cross vs ND
