Applying to Notre Dame - Individual Factors

Notre Dame’s admission process is multifaceted and considers each applicant on an individual basis.

We consider the whole person, as we recognise it requires more than academic excellence to succeed in your chosen profession.

We invite you to provide details of your personal qualities, experience and contribution to community life. We call these Individual Factors. Your Individual Factors may contribute towards Selection Rank adjustments.

You can supply this information by completing our Individual Factors Form and uploading it with your application.

We encourage you to prepare this before submitting your application so as to have it ready to upload.
