<p>News from ABC57 today. Last year's increase was 6% at 5556 applications, so that must mean around 550ish more this year going over the 6100 mark! Wow.</p>
<p>How about the 12-0 season? A winning football season almost always assures admissions of more apps.</p>
<p>Just imagine the RD app increase amount bc the application wasn’t due until after they made the National Championship game…</p>
<p>@ Notre Dame AL: The EA applications were due November 1, so before the 12-0 season was a 12-0 season. And still 10% increase over 2016! As Texas Ranger says, the RD applications could really be through the roof.</p>
<p>Here’s a link to the report:</p>
<p>[Notre</a> Dame sees increases in applications, fundraising with Irish on top | ABC57 | South Bend IN News, Weather and Sports | Top Stories](<a href=“http://www.abc57.com/home/top-stories/Notre-Dame-sees-increases-in-applications-fundraising-with-Football-teams-success-185623222.html]Notre”>http://www.abc57.com/home/top-stories/Notre-Dame-sees-increases-in-applications-fundraising-with-Football-teams-success-185623222.html)</p>
<p>“Just last year only 12 percent of the nearly 17,000 hopefuls received a coveted acceptance letter to Notre Dame and this year it could get even tougher.” </p>
<p>Yeah so they messed that part up lol</p>
<p>I predict < 20% acceptance rate… That’s gonna be rough for applicants like me >.<</p>
<p>Woah 12% acceptance rate? That’s insane. Wait is that even correct? I don’t think this year will dip below 20%…that’s a stretch.</p>

<p>As I see it, the trend has already been a 1-2% drop per year for the last few. With the increase of EA applicants being 10% higher at that before the FB team finished a perfect season, made the BCS championship, the RD should be able to be below 20%. </p>
<p>For example,
If the 2011 fall acceptance of ~4100 is 25% of applicants, ~16400 applied.
If the total applicant total increases by only 10%, that means the same EA trend is seen in RD (which is an underestimate), there will be ~18040 this year. Thus a 22% rate.</p>
<p>This is an underestimate because the acceptance rate would be lower that 25% for 2012 data, the RD will have a much higher increase of students with the greater FB success, and the chance of students turning down ND will be less, so the admissions department will admit less than 4100 this year to avoid having too many students.</p>
