Notre Dame’s acceptance rate is obviously low, and I’d be remiss to ignore that it is hard to get into. With that said though, is the acceptance rate somewhat skewed by applicants who know they aren’t qualified but apply anyway? My school, for example, has a lot of “T-shirt Notre Dame fans” who would never get in, but apply because they love the sports and spirit. My question is really this: are only 21% of qualified, well rounded students accepted, or is it more like 35-45% of qualified, well rounded students?
