My husband already goes to ND, so my decision will be very easy if I get in. Something came up in the past couple of months, kind of a plan B for me, so if I don't get accepted, I'll be just as happy. I'll probably just apply to ND next year again and make my application stronger.
One thing I learned from my husband's admission cycle was that if you're waitlisted, your acceptance may come at noon on April 15 and they want an answer by 3:00 pm. That's what happened with us with ND last year, so definitely having a decision in your mind helps!!
