I'm just below median LSAT and at 75th for GPA. I didn't write a why ND.

Notre Dame has been more on my mind lately, and I'm nervous about not submitting the optional. Would it be advisable to submit one now after the fact, or does that seem desperate/too little too late?

It would probably make sense if i was WL and then tried to express continued interest by submitting a "Why ND", but unsure how it would look before being issued a first decision. Thoughts?

Sorry for the repost... wondering if anybody had any insight on this - now that I'm still in "Application Complete" limbo land as of 11/21. I'm thinking this might mean I'm possibly being rolled over to waitlist in the next wave. Anyone else still have their status as app complete?

Congrats to those who are in so far! Hopefully your fat packet will be at your door tomorrow

was discussed a little bit in last years thread. some people were saying to send it in, 1 person said the application said to submit it with the rest of the application if you do it so I would check the application to see if it says anything about it. Can always call admissions and check if they look down on it or if you should add it

I have the same status and date as you. I haven't tried to read into it too much. I think I submitted 9/7, or somewhere around there, and they just began reviewing last week so it could change anytime. Anyways, sometimes you just gotta grab the egg nogg and play some Buble/Mariah and soak up the holiday spirit as a distraction.

I'm guessing those of us with no decision yet might have to wait until after the December scores are released, so they can look through those applicants first before making a decision on us.

[vcap180]

Anyone get admitted without the optional essays?

That might be..., but I think that if you're early decision they're supposed to let you know in December bc deposits are due Jan 15 for early decision applicants

didn't do why ND, but I did do a DKL - was just my diversity statement retitled.
