According to the University of Notre Dame website, “Although we require at least 16 academic units for
admission, our most competitive applicants will have four units in each major academic area and in the most
rigorous level their high school offers.”

The ACT or SAT is required for admission; however, the writing portion of both
tests is optional. If you submit multiple scores, Notre Dame will superscore the
tests for evaluation, meaning they will consider the highest composite score and
highest scores on each section, regardless of test date.

ACADEMIC PROFILE FOR THE INCOMING CLASS IS AS FOLLOWS:

ACT Middle 50%: 33-35
SAT Middle 50%: 1410-1540

Please note: Since admission requirements for colleges
change frequently, publications from individual schools
are to be consulted for current requirements.
