Does Notre Dame have special requirements for home schooled students?
Notre Dame welcomes applications from home schooled applicants. In a typical year, we will receive 40-50 applications from home schooled applicants. The admission rate for home schooled students is slightly higher than the overall admission rate of 28 – 30%. In addition to our standard application requirements, we do require that home schooled applicants take three SAT II Subject exams in History, Foreign Language, and Science. Students may choose the exams they wish to take within these subject areas. If a home schooled student has an Advanced Placement exam in one of these subject areas, it can substitute for the SAT II exam. The SAT II exams are required regardless of whether a student is in an accredited home schooled program or taking college courses. If you have any questions about applying as a home schooled student, feel free to call the Admissions Office at 574-631-7505.
