Notre Dame offers admission to 3,600 potential students

Decision day has arrived for the 3,600 potential students admitted into the Notre Dame class of 2021. This year’s pool of 19,565 applicants — a new record for the University — allowed the admissions office to continue its trend of focusing on the whole applicant rather than one aspect of an application, such as test scores or grades, associate vice president of student enrollment Don Bishop said.

Director of admissions Bob Mundy said the department narrowed down the strong applicant pool — which included 7,500 applicants in the top one percent of the nation based on test scores and grades, of which only about one in three applicants was admitted — by searching for the right “match” with the University.

---

This year’s pool of admitted students is also one of the most geographically diverse, Bishop said.

“Our largest state of admits this year was California this time,” he said. “ … Apparently, we’re doing very well with international students and U.S. students studying abroad. So we are probably going to be at 7 to 8 percent international students this year, and probably closer to 10 percent of students that are outside of the U.S. … That’s going to be a historical high, and that’s something [that] is a goal of Notre Dame, is to keep becoming more global.”

ND comments on increasing women enrollment, but in fact ND still accepts more men than women, which contrasts starkly with virtually every other peer school which accept and enroll more women than men. (A table that didn’t copy, shows the M/F split at 51/49.)

In addition to increased geographic diversity, Bishop said this year’s group of admitted students includes more women intending to major in fields of study that are typically male-dominated.

“We also are seeing an increase in the number of women in engineering and the number of women in business,” he said. “That was a goal this year. It’s still under 40 percent in both, but compared to the national averages, we’re actually really moving up.”****

When will Stanford release its REA acceptance rate?

[mohammadmohd18]

They won’t. Take a look at the thread for the class of 2020, and adjust that number downwards a few tenths of a percent.

[websensation]

I thought Stanford said they would release detailed stats after they are done with the admission process?

[spayurpets]

Here’s what they said when they released their admissions results in March:

Stanford will be releasing its application and admission statistics only at the conclusion of the admission cycle, after all applicants have been notified, and will continue to do so out of respect for our prospective students and applicants,” the release stated.

It’s ambiguous but I’d read that as meaning that they are not giving out information about REA anymore.

[Maximilias]

Of course, in the Notre Dame press release the vice president for enrollment avoided mentioning the percentage of admitted legacies when discussing this year’s “diverse” class, in the past a laughably high number–23 to 24 percent. I find that alarming. Any info about the number of admitted legacies at Notre Dame?

[tintininamerica]

That legacy nuance would also apply to the Ivies too. It would be interesting to see their stats.

[spayurpets]

@Maximilias It’s worse than that: if you include the 16% of ND students who have siblings who are at Notre Dame, the actual legacy figure is more like 30-35% of the student body (depending on the number of overlaps who have both parents and siblings who attended ND).

@tintininamerica It’s pretty clear that Notre Dame has significantly higher legacy numbers than the Ivies. Most Ivies when reporting their legacy numbers are more like 15%,

[Maximilias]

Thanks for that info, spayurpets. I had heard Notre Dame had an inordinate number of siblings matriculating. And so gaining admission to Notre Dame is an entree to an exclusive club. So much for their attempts at diversity.

@Maximilias: “And so gaining admission to Notre Dame is an entree to an exclusive club.”

Eh. That’s true of every private elite. Yes, ND cares about legacy more than most places, but for no school is everyone on a level playing field and for no school is admissions purely on merit (no matter how you define merit).
Some other school has a propensity to admit the progeny of famous people. Another of rich people. Many of rich famous people.
Is that any better?

It’s a private school/club.
They should be able to pick who they want, for whatever reason.
Just my opinion.

PurpleTitan, yes, that’s all true, but when ND’s press release and much of their PR is about how diverse Notre Dame is, in the interest of full disclosure they should include info about their legacy club (not particularly a diverse group of people since they likely have similar economic backgrounds). ND’s legacy “diversity” is what the ivies probably looked like forty to fifty years ago. And as far as other elite colleges having the propensity for admitting famous people or whatever, it’s likely not to the tune of 24 percent or actually 30-35 percent when including their brothers and sisters.

dragonmom3, guess what? Elite private colleges do admit who they want. Do you actually think they admit people they don’t want? And the same is true of good state schools for the most part. Fortunately, however, American higher education is not left to “whatever reason,” as you put it.

I agree with @dragonmom3. You as a student are applying to them. They have the right to pick whoever they want to matriculate, as long as they aren’t using racial quotas or some other such nonsense.

[Maximilias]

mohammadmohd18, and they do pick whoever they want. Show me one private elite college that doesn’t.

[dragonmom3]

Yes, private colleges can and do pick the people they want be they Catholic, legacy or whatever.
We are the customers and if we don’t like their policies we don’t have to apply there.
In fact, as consumers we should be aware of the significant hype that certain private colleges are so much more desirable than others.
They are businesses, after all.
If they only want red heads, for example, they are significantly limiting their potential applicant pool, but it is their right to do so.
