Hey there! I'm currently researching my application options for Notre Dame. Can anyone tell me if Notre Dame offers an Early Decision option for students?
No, Notre Dame does not offer an Early Decision option for students applying to the University. Instead, the school offers a non-binding Restrictive Early Action option that, unlike ED, doesn't carry the obligation to attend if accepted. It's important to note that when applying REA to Notre Dame, you cannot apply to any private colleges under their Early Decision or Early Action programs. However, you can apply to public colleges' non-binding Early Action programs.
The REA deadline is typically November 1st, with admissions decisions released in mid-December.
Make sure to carefully consider which application option suits you best and good luck with your application process!
