One does not have to be catholic or religious to appreciate the moral, ethical and spiritual (not necessarily religious) aspect of Notre Dame or any catholic university. I went to a catholic school as a non-catholic and loved it. There is something magical about it and again, I enjoyed and appreciated the moral, ethical and devoted atmosphere. Besides Notre Dame does need diversity, otherwise it becomes too much of a bubble. The admissions counselors strongly encourage non-catholics to apply if they can appreciate the above noted aspects and have a commitment to “others” ie for community service. I encourage you to speak to one of the admissions directors and discuss this topic. Besides I was more devoted to my faith than many of my catholic friends even after 4 years. Still am. Oh and I am still friends with all my mostly white catholic school mates all of whom were lovely non-judgmental people. the others you just ignore.
