cost of living at ND should be super low, and ND punches above its weight for biglaw and clerkships - crazy strong network (not just for law---ND alumni are rabid, and when they're on your team, it's a huge plus). very much worth considering even for the Indiana- and Catholicism-phobic

idk much about their dean but he seems like a decent dude, very "Jesus was a liberal" vibes (although I could be wrong, don't quote me)

I imagine it will depend a lot on whether they've already hit their goal median for this year without you? Just hazarding a guess

Notre Dame is probably being very careful about how many acceptances they send out. They were roasted a few years ago for how they handled a situation where they made too many offers.

fair point

ND (along with Stanford, iirc) historically waits on As (I think to improve their yield --> to improve their ranking). There's a UMich 3L on Reddit doing amazing visualizations of this data

If you don't have an NDLS decision yet and can hang tight past their deposit deadline, I'd do so.

ND's deposit deadline is April 15, according to Spivey's list. They likely will give different deadlines to later admits.

Yeah, LegitimateTwist's graphs are legendary. I hope they continue to do them after they graduate.

Is there anywhere that shows how many acceptances schools have given versus how many they have left
