$150k scholly today via snail mail! I definitely wasn't expecting this much! Wow!

[Username123]

Received scholarship info in the mail tonight. Excited! Can't wait for ASW on April 10/11!

ETA: definitely misread the scholarship letter and just realized the amount in the letter is divided over three years, not applied each year.

How likely is ND to negotiate with full rides from UIUC and Indiana?

Checked today and status changed to "application complete 2/16" but my seat deposits are still showing zero. Anybody know what this means? - Applied on 1/18

[heyarnold]

I'm in the same position as you, "gobills" . I think it means we're being reviewed.. but no final decision has been made yet. If you see the status as "decision made", but your deposits still stay at zero.. then that might be a little bad news bears.

Seat deposit changing is only a tell when the decision has been made. You just went complete, so it's normal for them to be 0.

Decision made and seat deposit numbers showed up today. Been complete since 12/9. Hoping for a good scholarship offer, but I'm out of town for the next one week so I won't see it until I get home next week!

Decision made today with deposit amounts showing. This usually means acceptance right? Anybody know how long it takes for the official decision to come? When is ASW? I'm so excited!

You are correct. My deposit numbers changed on a Tuesday. I received the acceptance email on Friday, followed by the admissions package the following Monday.

Congratulations to all of the new admits!

[irish921]

Congrats to the new admits. Seems like scholly amounts have been rather generous this cycle.

Same here. Fingers crossed

Not for me!

I plan on completing the scholarship appeal form though. Think they would budge a little bit with full rides from UIUC and Indiana?

UIUC, I would think so. Illinois and Notre Dame are about as peer school as you can get.

Good news.

Yeah, ND offered me 15k over three years, while UIUC and Indiana offered me full rides. I hope ND bumps its offer up a lot.

status update again today, last one on 2/16.

gimme the goods, nd

same. 2/12, 2/16 and now 2/18.

how many date changes typically happen before decision made? anyone have an idea?

do they tend to stick at all to the 4-6 weeks timeline they gave?

[256986245]

I had a change of 2/12 but not another one. I wonder if they are reviewing two separate groups?

[thomch05]

How likely do you think ND would be likely to negotiate against a large Alabama scholly. I know the aren't necessarily peer schools, but Bama is ranked higher. I just need a little bit more from Nd and I'm going, and was wondering the likely hood I could get more $$.

Got the e-mail confirmation of my acceptance today. Very excited. Can't wait to visit. Anyone considering going to March ASW?

There was no mention of a scholarship in the e-mail. I know amounts come later, but others have said that there's a line something about making "ND a competitive option" that was in their letter. Is that in the e-mail or the admission package? I hope to be considered for scholarships at least.

[pjohnstron0626]

Accepted. LSAT just under median, GPA>75%. MA/PhD

[aggie15]

Status checker says decision made but the deposit numbers didn't change. I got rejected didn't I?

[BrazilBandit]

Had 3rd date change today but no decision. Above 75th LSAT & Above Median GPA... I have a visit scheduled in March, maybe they're waiting to make sure I am not a weirdo?

Could be a waitlist.

[Calbears123]

Third date change today but no decision. Stats at last years medians. Hoping for at least a wait list but with those huge money offers I'm seeing I hope I don't get dinged this year because it's looks like ND is trying to raise their medians
