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]

Many of the athletes are the non-Catholics.  Plus those admitted REA.  My kid is a pretty devout Presbyterian (church youth group leadership etc).  Wrote about faith, etc.  Did not get in RD despite admits to one of HYP and several other Ivies.  Certainly there are kids who do get in RD who aren't Catholic.  Just saying that it is a very hard admit and should be no one's back-up!!
