hey guys, I realize I can check law school numbers etc, but I wanted any guesses on if the applicant pool was up or down this year for notre dame. One of my top choices, I have a 164 lsat and 3.6 gpa, application will be final within a week or so. Any chance?

Decision made as of today. My mail is terribly slow, that anxiety is going to be hard.

Same...I've been complete since 11/1. I wonder how long ND typically takes, without the 15 day.

Eh, I dno. Right now I'm too lazy to go research in LSN.
Ditto

I wasn't and it seems like they start sending them out the first week in December. Even though that one person did just say that their app already says decision made and that 15 day thing I think is new.

I just heard back. My decision was made on November 9th, I applied early september, and got the letter today. I was waitlisted with a 170 and a low 3.x gpa.

I'm pretty disappointed about it. ND was far from my top choice but they were a school I really liked and am feeling even more nervous about my other reaches now.

Don't know if it mattered but I did not write a why ND essay, I'm wondering now if I should have. Good luck to everybody else waiting for their decisions.

Sorry about your waitlist. Did you apply RD or ED?

RD. No way I was gonna ED here simply because of the location, I have never been to Indiana before and would be uncomfortable committing to such an unknown in advance.

168/3.6/non-URM/RD

Sounds strange that this is THE reason for your WL. A yield-protect seems much more likely, considering non-URMs with 3.6/167 & 3.5/166 have been getting into Cornell/Michigan.

If you put maximum effort into your application, I wouldn't be too worried. I only applied there because I got a fee waiver so I did not complete the "Why ND?" essay or put in as much effort as I did to my top choices. It might have been the difference between WL and acceptance.

exactly why im worried

On the other hand, ND is known for basically requiring the Why ND for admission.

Interesting. Maybe the Why ND is not so necessary.

I would still do it. this person obviously had great numbers, seeing as how stingy ND can be with big schollys and how much weight they place on whys

Was it a private school? I don't mean to be pushy, I'm just curious as to the lack of significance of the Why ND on your admission (plus $$).

If you are asking if he/she went to ND, the answer is almost definitely no. If they had attended ND, they would have said they went to a T20 (check my profile

). No one is going to lump themselves into a less elite group voluntarily.
