<p>I'm a junior and was wondering what religion to put on the PSAT and college apps (next year of course). My mom's side is Catholic and my dad's side is Quaker. I don't really practice any religion. So should I put Quaker because it is not as abundant as Catholic?</p>
<p>neither of your parents took the PSAT this year. put what YOU are, not what they are.</p>
<p>Correct, but we don’t go to church. We used to and I believe it was a Quaker meeting hall but that was years ago. Both religions celebrate Christmas so that doesn’t help me…</p>
<p>What are the choices?</p>
<p>Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the purpose of listing a religion on the PSAT to identify yourself to denominational schools, not to try to stand out for admissions?</p>
<p>New URM guys: Wickens</p>
<p>I agree with victoriaheidi. Putting one or the other isn’t going to help you in admissions, it’s just gonna help you get spammed by colleges of that religion.</p>
<p>If you don’t practice any religion, put “no religion” or whatever the selection is called on the PSAT.</p>
<p>And for all future students, let’s try being honest instead of choosing whatever you think will make schools like you most!!</p>

<p>lol, it’s Wiccan.</p>
<p>OP, you don’t have to put anything if you’re not practicing. I personally put down my family’s denomination (I go to church but don’t identify with organized religion). I’m not really sure why it would matter regardless of what you put.</p>
<p>Well, AtomicCafe, I am being honest. My parents both taught me some of their religious views growing up and I have attended churches and Quaker meeting halls. However, in the past several years I have completely ignored religion. I think it’s ridiculous and frightening that people worship something that we can’t prove exists and I think all the conflict it causes is sad. So I guess I will just select no affiliation.</p>
<p>just choose not to specify</p>
