Hello everyone - just want to address the concerns about waitlist updates and the status that shows in the application.
First - please know that the status you see in the application - "decision rendered" - only refers to the *original* decision that was due when you first applied. That's not something that is going to change over time if you're on the waitlist. So you shouldn't be discouraged by seeing that your status within the application remains "decision rendered".
Secondly, please also know that the waitlisted files are currently under review. Our standard process is to review the waitlisted files after each round of decisions. So waitlisted applicants will not hear from us on the published decision date, but rather a few days later. Update times will vary throughout the cycle but generally it's within a week of the published decision date for each round. You can see those here:
https://business.nd.edu/MBA/Admissions_a ... Deadlines/So we released decisions on Friday, April 13 and now we are reviewing the waitlist. We hope to have an update out tomorrow, but definitely before the end of this week. The next scheduled review will be after June 8th. We will also be reviewing / concluding the One Year waitlist in early May as well.
We know that you work hard on the applications and we appreciate your interest in Notre Dame. We try to provide a good applicant experience and I would encourage you to please contact us at
mba.business@nd.edu if you have ever have questions or concerns about your application.
Sincerely,
Andrew
