<p>I might be totally crazy, but does being Irish give you any sort of hook for notre dame? (I know it won't mean to much, but does it have any significance at all?)</p>
<p>I highly doubt it. I think race/ethnicity will only help URMs.</p>
<p>on the same note, does it help to be catholic? or are other religions considered URMs and have an easier time getting in?</p>
<p>Religion will not help or hurt you and nope, being Irish won't help you. I am sorry! Good luck guys!</p>
<p>Irish is right, but that didn't stop some students from making a Facebook group entitled: "My Name Is Soooo Irish, Notre Dame Had To Accept Me", haha.</p>
<p>Ahh, the facebook groups, I do enjoy them. Be sure to check out the fake profile group.</p>
