I know! I was thrown off guard! I got the call just now and was also accepted!!!
Does anyone know if they called everyone today or is it still possible that I get off?
My daughter also just received a call from her admissions advisor that she has been accepted, now waiting on the financial aid package ?
My son just received a call and has been accepted as well. He is extremely happy. We are hoping that the financial aid package is close to what the cost calculator came up with.
Best of luck to everyone else out there waiting!
Hi,
I’m from the Chicago area and was recently informed I was accepted off the waiting list as well! Good luck to anyone else who’s still waiting!
Hey @samabbott18! I wouldn’t worry if you haven’t received word yet. From what I understand, they offered admission to a very limited number of students today. Don’t lose hope!
Wow! Congratulations to those of you who have gotten admitted off the waitlist. While ND clearly expected (and stated) that they might have a lower yield this year - going to the waitlist prior to the May 1st confirmation date is quite a surprise. My take on this is that for a lot of students who don’t know Notre Dame really well and have not had the chance to make it to campus (and now won’t be able to given the COVID - 19 situation), picking ND is a very very tough decision given potential concerns about the Catholic character of the university, its location and its strong/unique culture/community. These are very reasonable potential concerns to want to have addressed prior to committing and the best way to do this is to come to campus and experience Notre Dame first hand. In a normal year, many of these admits would get to campus and become excited about joining the Notre Dame community.
What a year this has been…and will likely continue to be for a while.
Everyone stay safe and happy!
For those who got a call, was your portal also updated?
Hi! Congratulations! My daughter also received a call today but her portal has not been updated.
I just received a status update on my portal. No financial aid package yet, though.
Has anyone received their financial aid package?
My admissions officer said it would take about a week to receive our financial aid packages so I would expect them to come later this week!
Just got the call from my admissions counselor saying I got in!
That is really cool that they are making calls before May 1st. Helps a lot with people who would’ve lost deposits at their second choice.
For those who have asked re: portals. Our son received his call earlier today, but portal not yet updated.
Just got a call today!! My admissions counselor told my to call him regarding questions about my application and offered me a spot!
I also received a call today, and my admissions counselor said that she will immediately make the application updates to the portal. I was wondering if your admissions counselor told you that you would have to commit by May 1 or if a later date would be fine. If it would be May 1, would this have to be done through the portal?
@pinksandra0505 My admissions counselor told me that one I receive my financial aid package I will have 5 days to reply to their offer of admission. I assume that is the case for everyone. If you didn’t apply for financial aid, I would assume you have 5 days starting today. I would ask your admissions counselor just to be safe, though.
I was accepted off the waitlist on Friday and got my financial aid yesterday evening, which is quicker than I expected. So, I technically have until May 2nd to respond. Also, I believe my portal was updated Friday night after receiving the call Friday afternoon.
@knk029
I got off Friday morning as well and still have not gotten my financial aid. How was it sent to you? Did it appear in your portal or was it emailed to you? Has anybody else who was accepted on Friday not received their financial aid yet?
Thanks
