For all of us still on the WL, do you all think that ND is going to be making more WL offers and if so when?

+1

For what it's worth, they gave the people who were just accepted off the WL a week to deposit. So I would assume they'll be more offers in a week.

Good luck, everyone.

Did they say how many offers they made today?

Nope.
Although, (and I realize my method of analysis makes little to no sense) Dean Pless accepted 20 people yesterday off the U of I WL. Two people reported it on TLS and another two reported it on LSN.
Today, 3 people reported getting in the Notre Dame WL on TLS and 2 updated their LSN.
So, if you like nonsensical extrapolation with no factual basis, I would guess around 20.

Haha well I'm hoping that's not the case and they accept more people tomorrow! But it would be nice to know either way to kinda judge what one's chances are at this point. I'm tempted to call and ask but I don't want to bug them.

From what I've seen the people who were accepted had strong numbers...I'm guessing IUB's giveaway is hurting other schools who are trying to raise or keep their median. Adding to this is the lower amount of apps. Hopefully I'm wrong and there numbers are set that they accept the people they want...like me? Lol best of
Luck to all of us on the waitlist.

[Mr. December]

Just accepted off the waitlist. 167/3.78

[BlueDiamond]

So, I Pm'd this question to like three people who posted on this page.. but im impatient cuz ND is a big acceptance for me

If I got any type of scholarship would it have come in my acceptance email? Or, do they send another e-mail after?

No, scholarship info is included in the admissions packet ND sends to you

AHHH even those coming off the WL? They only gave me until May 12th to deposit

Edit: nevermind.. just got the answer.. no scholly.. TEARS FLOWINGGG

[SrLaw]

In off the WL. 18K a year scholarship. My plans just changed.

congrats!

[SrLaw]

I am shocked. Does ND give higher than 18K per year? It seems like that is their cap?

[cj2k14]

Accepted off WL a few days ago with 10k/year.. withdrawing since I already decided to attend OSU.. best of luck to those of you still holding out on the WL

[Mr. December]

I am shocked. Does ND give higher than 18K per year? It seems like that is their cap?

No, I was accepted off the waitlist with 20 K per year. And my scholly notification was within the acceptance email, for those asking.

I see you also got a full ride from Indiana. Same boat as my friend who decided the full ride was too much to give up for 18k a year at ND off waitlist. Thinking about changing plans yourself if you don't mind me asking?

[jgator1]

In off WL with 20k/yr. I called yesterday and spoke with someone in admissions and today I got an acceptance email. I know people dread calling schools because they're afraid they might annoy adcomms but I'm very happy with my situation's outcome.

Actually, I had already turned down the full ride at IUB because I was dead set on going to GW so that I would have access to the D.C. market (plus I really liked the city). But the debt I'd incur from GW as well as the respect I've always had for ND (it was actually my #1 choice when I applied in the fall) is making me reconsider things. I'm visiting NDLS on Monday, though, so I'll see if I could see myself there.

I will be visiting as well. As for IU-B, a great school but I am a little weary of the prospects? I had a 3L tell me that only 15% of the class had jobs.

Congrats to everyone off the waitlist. If you haven't already, you should look to join the facebook group "Notre Dame Law Class of 2014". It is an open group, so I believe you can just join. Otherwise message me and I can invite you into the group.

Anyone that is going to be in Chicago this summer, we are planning a get together. Right now the first one is tentatively scheduled for the 18th.

Good luck to everyone in their decisions and congrats again if you made it off the waitlist.

Yeah, I think 3Ls at most schools in the country will be hurting right now. % employed at graduation rates will be interesting to look at for c/o 2011. I'm sure ND is not immune.

Here's hoping we're not as unlucky in 2-3 years (or, 1 year when OCI is coming up...).

Just curious, how did you frame the purpose of your call?

Random question: Should our deposit check be made payable to the University of Notre Dame Law School or just the University of Notre Dame?

well, congrats sir/madam on accepting your offer of admission. welcome to the class. i made mine out to the university, but i would imagine making it out to the law school wouldn't matter much.

i haven't checked tls since i was accepted to nd (which was a while ago). best of luck to all those still trudging through the admissions process. a word of inspiration to those who are down: notre dame appreciates your entire application, not one part. anyways, if you have a question about the process i'd be happy to share what knowledge i have (if any).
