Notre Dame EA acceptance rate?

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about applying to Notre Dame through their Early Action program. I'm wondering if anyone could tell me the acceptance rate for EA applicants? Thank you in advance!

Hello! The University of Notre Dame unfortunately does not publish their Early Action acceptance rate separately from their overall acceptance rate. While I can't provide you with an exact number, it's generally true that applying Early Action or Early Decision can improve your chances of getting into a selective school like Notre Dame, as applying early shows genuine excitement about the school, which admissions officers of course view favorably.

To give you some context, the overall acceptance rate for Notre Dame in recent years has been a little under 15%. So, the Early Action rate may be in the 20-25% range. Keep in mind, though, that applying Early Action might give you a small advantage, but the admissions committee will still evaluate your application based on your academic profile, extracurricular activities, essays, and other factors - just applying in a particular cycle doesn't guarantee admission.

If you want to get a sense of how you stack up overall at Notre Dame, consider taking advantage of CollegeVine's free chancing engine, which accounts for all elements of your profile and compares them to those of accepted students at Notre Dame to give you personalized odds of acceptance: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator.

Overall, even though Notre Dame's Early Action acceptance rate isn't publicly available, it's generally beneficial to apply early if it's one of your top choice schools, as demonstrating a high level of interest can lead to better odds of acceptance. Good luck with your application!
