Not ND unless you're Catholic and apply REA. My daughter really wanted to go there and was waitlisted RD with a 3.9 from a top private. She was accepted to several Ivies and other top20s.  In retrospect we misplayed this as the only kids who have gotten in over from her school over the last 4 years were baptized Catholics who applied early. I'm sure it varies by high school but this was our experience.  [/quote]

ND is only 80% Catholic, so some non-Catholic students are getting in. ND says they don't track demonstrated interest, but those non-Catholic students must show somehow that they are serious about ND.  The yield rate is crazy high for a school without ED (that isn't Harvard or MIT).[/quote]

The 20% percent non-Catholics are likely athletes.[/quote]
That should be illegal for a school to be 80% 1 religion. [/quote]

Are you for real? It is a private Jesuit college.
 
A Catholic university is an institution of higher education founded and operated by the Catholic Church or one of its religious orders, which integrates Catholic faith and intellectual tradition into its curriculum and campus life while maintaining academic freedom and excellence. These universities aim to unify the search for truth with a foundation in the Catholic faith, offering a holistic education that develops students intellectually, ethically, and spiritually.

20% is just the right amount.

I always love the people who normally bash Catholics but want to send their kids to Catholic school since they offer fantastic education, particularly the Jesuits.

Notre Dame is not Jesuit.  [/quote]

But it’s Catholic so yes they rightly prioritize Catholics. They are private. [/quote]

DP - we are not Catholic but my kid is interested in Notre Dame.  How do they prioritize Catholics?  Do they ask applicants to disclose whether they have been baptized?  Whether they are members of a church?  In other words, how do they know whether or not my suburban public school, Asian American kid is or is not Catholic?[/quote]

Just say that you are catholic. No one is going to know.  [/quote]

Way to sabotage a stranger, PP.  You are a jerk.

Obviously, do not lie and say you are Catholic when applying to ND (or any faith-based school).  ND is 1/5 non-Catholic. My sense is that they want students who are comfortable with/ respectful of a religious worldview, even if they don't practice regularly (lots of ND students do not attend mass).  A sincere Muslim or Mainline Protestant would be more welcome than a fake Catholic. [/quote]

Exactly, there is zero issue with not being a Catholic. Do not do this![/quote]
