Notre Dame releases restrictive early action decisions

Wednesday evening at At 6:42 p.m., Notre Dame announced its restrictive early action decisions for 12,917 applicants. 1,669 applicants were accepted into the class, according to one university press release.

This year’s admission rate for restrictive early measures measured approximately 12.9%, which is a decrease of approximately 2% from a hospitalization rate of 14.9% last year. Applicants included students from 149 countries, up from 109 countries last year. This increase comes after the university announced in September that admissions would become need-blind for all international and domestic applicants.

“We could not be more excited to welcome this group of admitted students home to Notre Dame,” Vice President of Undergraduate Enrollment Micki Kidder stated in the press release.

Last year, about half of the class of 2028 was admitted via restrictive early action, according to Kidder. The restrictive early action process prevents students from applying via early decision to other schools, but does not require students to attend Notre Dame if accepted.
