Hi,

I received a mail from the director of admissions that goes like this...

"The University of Notre Dame MBA Program, through the Graduate Management Admission Search Service, has identified you as a Preferred Candidate.

What that means is that candidates who fit your profile have been admitted in the past and frequently awarded a fellowship to our program. While I cannot guarantee outcomes, I hope you will take the time to see if our program is a good fit for you."

What exactly does this mean? I just want to know if anyone has any idea, before I write back to Notre Dame.

Though It reads and seems an Admit Call. Its not

ND does that every year on year. They send this email to 1000+ applicants, 90% of those get WL or denied.

Thanks, Alex. I read the EXACT same sentence you posted on the web. You only posted it? Also, Notre dame is ranked 4th in ethics. So I don't think it would be that ironic. Accordong to business week, Notre dame got only 1000+ applications last year. how can they wait list 90% of them?
