OP, I'm assuming you took the EA route, correct?

thanks everyone! notre dame has always been my #1, since childhood. my goal is doing fulfilling work in the public interest field, money not a huge factor, and notre dame seems to provide a sparkling reputation for producing men and women of great moral fortitude. i was in fact ea (even though nd calls it ed...i guess its ed with exceptions, or ea with limitations) and the dean (actually acting director of admissions) included a handwritten note on my commitment to community service. it's nice to know my favorite school might actually look past gpa/lsat. this is a perfect fit, and i was brought almost to tears (ok, a few tears).

Let's hope, although your LSAT is impressive. Congrats, and maybe I'll see you there.

Ditto, maybe the key is to apply ED :) If they didn't have that ridiculous clause about having to make a decision to attend by Feb then I may have done it. Anyway, congrats OP!

Went complete 2 weeks ago and visiting and meeting "officially" next week. I hope they dont render a decision by then. The good news is if they haven't I will be the only on visiting since it is on an off day for them which should get me some one on one time.

I applied mid-October---looking forward to the decision.

Eire--what gave you the impression about it's devotion to public service?

well it's always kind of been its reputation, but click around on this page: http://law.nd.edu/about/public-interest ... activities

the galilee program in particular caught my eye

Just got waitlisted. Hit me harder than I expected. Notre Dame is one of my dream schools to be sure, but my GPA and LSAT are below their medians so I really shouldn't be surprised by this decision. Congratulations to those of you who got accepted and I'll definitely be sending Notre Dame LOCIs and updated transcripts
