@snowshoe123 Why have you decided to apply ND Regular Decision?

3

I ED’d to another school. In the event I am accepted, I plan to Regular Decision ND.

@snowshoe123 Regular Admission at Notre Dame in general and the Mendoza College of Business (MCOB) undergraduate program specifically can be a challenging process, as it will include both the general university admission process and an additional pre-approval to MCOB.

Notre Dame’s Office of Admissions will contact those students not pre-approved for business and ask them if they are interested in an alternative major. If the applicants, once fully advised of the limited options for internal transfer to business, still choose to accept an offer of admission without the business guarantee, they will be asked to select a different intended major at another ND College of their choice. For ND first choice applicants, more often than not, the primary goal is to attend the University of Notre Dame in this case.

As Notre Dame is not your first choice college, as expressed by the ED application, you should carefully consider your Regular Decisions options, if it were to come to it, subsequent to your ED decision (presumably you meant not accepted in your post above) - Notre Dame/MCOB certainly should be part of the mix in this case. Best of luck and success!

5

Deferred from early decision at another university. Notre Dame RD is now my top choice.

Best of luck and success @snowshoe123!
