[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ND typically takes well under 100 kids off the waitlist in any given year. It’s basically a rejection from the onset.

yes, this is the case for any school.  
Over the last 5 years, the acceptance rate off the ND waitlist has ranged from 3% to 43%.[/quote]

Wow, taking 43% from the waitlist is a huge amount.  Wonder what happened that year. [/quote]

I took a look at the last five years and there were only 3 of those years where this info was shared:
2020-21 -- 43%
2023-24 -- 4%
2024-25 -- 3%

The other years were not reported.

Something most people don't know is that during the 2020-21 year (covid), the university did not allow students who enrolled to stay home and do remote learning. You either showed up on campus or passed. Only students with approved health reasons were allowed to stay home. This might be a reason why many did not enroll. My son was a sophomore that year and he is so glad the school had this policy. He is one of the very few students in the world that had a semi normal college experience that year.

That explains the 43%.  ND has a pretty stable yield rate (and a pretty high one for an EA school).  There may be a lower yield from international students this year, but since ND has a relatively low % of international undergrads (8%), I wouldn't expect high WL acceptance numbers again.[/quote]
