<p>If you have to ask that question, I really don’t think you want Notre Dame badly enough. Obviously, if you really wanted to attend Notre Dame you would have done appropriate research and you would have seen that while Catholicism is part of the tradition, for a school traditionally Catholic they are ready to, and they do, embrace religious diversity. People really don’t care. I mean, unless you WANT them to care, and asking a question like that “Would I be left out because I’m Jewish?” it kind of seems that way.</p>
<p>While many are Catholic, no one is going to ostracize you for not being Catholic. Community and service are much more important, not how you pray. So stop setting yourself up to be “ousted” (as you say, but that is somewhat a misuse of the word) by asking silly questions that you would have known the answer to if you had throughly researched Notre Dame (for example, they have a Jewish club listed on their website, you could have contacted someone in that club if you asked the student association).</p>
<p>If you feel that uncertain about applying that you have to ask if your religion will be “accepted” there and want to know your “chances” well then maybe you are better off applying at a school that you know you will be a shoe-in at.</p>
