The grades that you earn this year will be the most recent grades that colleges will see when you submit your applications next year, so do your best and don’t be afraid to ask for help. This is a great year to meet with college admissions counselors when they visit Notre Dame; keep an eye on the visit calendar on the left side of this page, and listen to the morning and afternoon announcements to hear which colleges will be visiting.

Seniors are responsible for their college applications; please do not create any accounts for your child (e.g., Common App, College Board, or ACT accounts) or complete any parts of their college applications. Doing so can impede the process of submitting transcripts and recommendation letters to colleges through Naviance and may delay your child’s college applications.
