fellow Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Has anyone who attended the visiting weekend heard from Notre Dame? Weren't we supposed to receive word by today?
thekid Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 No word yet. Unsurprisingly, academics are not the best administrators. Compounding this reality is the fact that Notre Dame is on Spring Break this week, so the faculty are geographically scattered. One final factor in the delay may be the pending availability of University-wide fellowships.
fellow Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 So it really could be next week or so before we hear?
thekid Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I think that is a possibility. Hopefully, they'll get it together by the end of the week, but I do know that they were delayed last year with notices, too. Remember that the person who predicted that notifications would be made by today at the latest was the new DGS - I think he underestimated the complexity of the process.
fellow Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 wow, unbelievable. well thank you for your help. it's difficult to be completely in the dark.
phd_aspirant Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Got a call about 2 hours ago from the graduate director with good news. I am ecstatic. I am accepted to the moral theology program. Not sure how many others of the 5 of us there will be accepted (I wish all 5!); i'd love to know who else is going to be there next year.
phd_aspirant Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I am very eager to know what others have heard from ND. And if you'd like (I'd like) please PM me and let me know how things turned out.
Febronia Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I am very eager to know what others have heard from ND. And if you'd like (I'd like) please PM me and let me know how things turned out. I got an email last night saying that I was wait listed. It's a little disappointing, especially after such a wonderful weekend, but at the same time, I do have a couple of other good offers. At this point, I think that I will probably accept one of those rather than remaining on the wait list and drawing out the uncertainty...

It looks like you do have some great offers, and I'm sure you're just over the anxiety of the whole process by now.
X-Cathedra Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) I was accepted in Systematics. I'm pretty excited. They invited me to the interview weekend but sadly I came down with a horrible illness and had to cancel the trip. I was able to do the interviews over the phone but am disappointed I didn't get to meet any of the other prospects. Looking forward to getting to know the other folks who got in!
