Hello folks, I'm considering applying to Notre Dame but am unsure about the admissions deadlines. I wanna make sure I don't miss any crucial dates. Can anyone please guide me about the exact deadlines and what each of them means (like early action, regular decision etc.)?
Sure, happy to guide you on this! Notre Dame offers both Early Action (EA) and Regular Decision (RD) application plans. Let me break it down for you:
Early Action (EA):
- Deadline: November1- Notification: By mid-DecemberIn EA, you can apply to Notre Dame earlier than the RD deadline and get a decision earlier as well. EA at Notre Dame is non-binding, meaning if you're admitted, you have until May1 to decide whether or not you'll attend.
Regular Decision (RD):
- Deadline: January1- Notification: By late MarchRegular Decision (RD) is the traditional application plan. It allows you more time to complete your application, but the decision notification is later.
Remember, a complete application includes your Common Application or Coalition Application, Notre Dame Writing Supplement, and other required documents. It's crucial to have all elements of your application in by the respective deadlines. And just a quick note, Notre Dame does not offer an Early Decision (ED) application plan which would bind you to attend if admitted. I hope that clears things up! Best of luck with your applications.
