<p>Hi, I'm considering applying to Notre Dame and want to know whether to apply EA or RD.</p>

<p>Essay: Should be good</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!!!</p>

<p>Also one quick question- I am Jewish, but i am not a practicing Jew. Would that be a problem fitting in at Notre Dame? I have no problem with Catholicism, but i do not want to feel pressured into it.</p>

<p>You don’t have anything to lose by applying EA, unless there’s a school you would rather attend more that offers ED. That way you will find out sooner rather than later. Make sure you show some demonstrated interest by visiting campus and/or attending a college fair, etc. They have many students who are not Catholic and it shouldn’t be an issue as far as feeling “pressured”. You are a very good candidate however your EC’s are a little thin.</p>
