What I do not understand is that Notre Dame says "We DO NOT release decisions by telephone or email." So either Notre Dame is lying or other applicants are. So I am a bit confused and skeptical about my denial because it explicitly says this on their status checker website in large bold font.

I'm not sure why they put that on the top, I saw it too, but I got the acceptance email the day my status checker said decision made.

Edit: It might mean that if you call them or email them when your status checker says decision made to ask what the decision is they will not tell you the decision.

Yeah, I'm thinking on that one too.

Was wondering, when you got the admitted students packet, did it come with "Insiders Guide"? Wanna know if I should read the PDF online or just wait 'til I have a physical copy in hand.

The packet they send you is kind of like the one they hand out at the lsac forums. It didn't have too much info on south bend like the packet Indiana sent out for Bloomington.

Received a letter in the mail yesterday...the dreaded waitlist letter. Wondering if anyone can give insight on how many (if at all) individuals ND may pull from the WL? Also, when is the first seat deposit deadline?? Guess it's better than a deny. Congrats to all the acceptances!

Status just changed to decision made, can't see anything about seat deposit below so I'm guessing it's a reject.

Does anyone know from past cycles what part of Feb we usually hear about scholarships?

Also does ND negotiate?

Did you write the optional DKL essay? If not, you could write one and incorporate it into your LOCI.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
