Because they want the athletes to succeed when they get to ND.They are in classes with “5*”students-

Rushing credits atypically for playing purposes does not enhance those chances.

It may well be acceptable at most other schools where the academics for athletes have merely been a front, but not Notre Dame. They want to minimize the necessary admission differences while maximize the chances that the athletes have had the best preparation possible to succeed in the classroom against other students with high quality prep. Prep classes from other locations or off sequence are clear on an admissions application. It is not adequate to merely “check the box” with regard to necessary credits.

I want to be clear that I do not have special info here other than having recently gone through the admissions process at ND with two different children and having heard them talk about their philosophy several times in person.
But As I said previously, I’d be truly shocked if they allowed it since rushed credits would not be considered the quality they feel best for the student.

If that student has pursued an accelerated program for multiple years, this might be accepted I suppose.
