<p>I am from southern India, but I am also Catholic. Would I have a better chance of getting admitted because Notre Dame has a small percentage of Asians? </p>

<p>No, not at all. If anything, begin Asian makes you less competitive. Think about the number of Indians who get 2300+ on their SAT…</p>
<p>I wouldn’t necessarily agree. you said you’re from southern India: do you mean you moved from there when you were young or your parents/ relatives are from there and you were born in the USA? If you’re from India, speak a second language, and can bring something culturally to the table, it could be a huge plus. It may be worth writing one of your essays about bringing your culture to Notre Dame.</p>

<p>TheStudent7591, I know that Asians tend to get the top scores, but Notre Dame specifically doesn’t have a large population of Asians. I’m not sure if they take that into consideration.</p>
<p>IliketoFence, I didn’t move from India, my parents are from there. I just want to know if ethnicity, even if it’s Asian, has a factor.</p>
<p>I think he means like URM for Asians </p>
<p>Asians are 7% of the student body at Notre Dame, so I think it counts as an URM</p>
