Meet the Notre Dame Class of 2028

With help from Sorin Society members, Notre Dame Fund donors, and other university benefactors, the Notre Dame Class of 2028 is already one for the record books. These first-year students have proven themselves through academic excellence and dedication to being a force for good.

The Class of 2028 includes approximately 2,090 first-year students, compared to 2,075 who enrolled in the fall of 2023 for the Class of 2027. 29,943 people applied, a 6% increase compared to the 2027 admission cycle in which 28,353 first-year students applied.

Of the students who submitted test scores, the Class of 2027 had an average SAT score of 1500 and ACT score of 34.

This class was Notre Dame’s most diverse to date, with roughly 40% of students being students of color or international students.

Through their generosity, Sorin Society members and Notre Dame Fund donors ensure that no well-deserving student turns away from pursuing a Notre Dame undergraduate experience that educates the hearts and minds of tomorrow’s leaders.
