Notre Dame admits 1,673 to class of 2025 in largest early action pool ever

"The University released decisions for its restrictive early action (REA) process Dec. 16, admitting 1,673 students to the class of 2025.

With 7,744 total applicants, this year’s REA pool was the largest ever, with about a 21.6 percent acceptance rate. The total number of applications across REA and regular decision also hit an all-time high with 23,637 applications."

"In addition, Bishop said the University is already up 15 to 20 percent in the rate of admitted students securing a place in the class.

This will require us to be cautious in how many students overall are admitted. We do not plan to over enroll the class goal of 2,050,” Bishop said. “This fall we enrolled 2,193, which was 143 larger than our original goal.”

“A total of 1,712 REA applicants were deferred to regular decision. Bishop said deferred students are encouraged to continue to show interest in attending Notre Dame and send any major updates to attach to their application.”

If the 50% yield estimate holds, this means that there are about 16000 applications vying for about 1000 spots or about a 6% admit rate. Really tough year for Class of 2025.
