BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The University of Mary says that for the first time in the school’s history there will be a waiting list for freshmen applicants this fall.
The university is expecting 20 percent more freshmen in 2018 compared to last year. The school says the incoming freshman class of 500 will be a record.
Undergraduate admissions director Richard Hinton says there are just a few spots remaining in the freshman class that will be filled in the coming weeks. Hinton says all applications filed after June 1 will go on a waiting list.
Hinton says there are more students coming from outside North Dakota, including from Montana and Minnesota.
The Catholic, Benedictine university was founded in 1959 by the Benedictine Sisters of Annunciation Monastery.
