Stanford, Michigan and Cornell highlight college and university acceptances for Notre Dame grads.
Notre Dame Prep’s head of counseling, Vlado Salic, said earlier this school year that the fall had been the most successful ever in terms of college visits to the Notre Dame campus.
“We are nearing the tail end of college rep visitation season and we have had more than 35 colleges visit and 13 more coming through the first week in November,” he said at the time. “We are putting a bigger emphasis on promoting our school to colleges and universities—many of them fairly elite—that typically do not visit many high schools in the area.”
Notre Dame’s emphasis on finding the best university match for each of its students continues to pay off for the school’s graduates. Case in point is the list of colleges and universities — shown below — where Notre Dame’s latest class of graduates were accepted.
“NDP is getting more recognition from many more elite universities, which will ultimately benefit our students with many more opportunities post-high school,” Salic said.
One hundred eighty seniors are now heading to some of the finest universities in the world after accepting diplomas on May 22 and celebrating all that they had accomplished during their high school career, including:
