I’ve posted this before: son applied in Fall of '05 and was accepted EA. He is not Catholic even tho one parent is. I certainly would not let the fact that you are not Catholic prohibit you from applying. In fact, I can tell you that son was more concerned about the fact that he had no legacy connections over the fact that he was not Catholic. He felt that the legacy issue was more important esp since he applied EA. I honestly believe that ND does look at the whole app in the process; scores, ECs, essay, etc. And, if you have what they are looking for in this particular year of admissions, including religious affiliation, then you will be admitted. Again, pay careful attention to the complete app when you are processing it! Good Luck!!

PS–And after two years, I can also say that the fact that he is not Catholic has never been an issue, either. He was raised Protestant and even took a Catholicism course as one of his Theo requirements. He has no regrets about being at ND!
