When one thinks of classic American universities, he or she would be hard-pressed to not think of Notre Dame and the school’s emblematic Fighting Irishman. The school–located in South Bend, Indiana–is a traditionally Catholic institution and while religion is not a factor in admissions, 80% of the student body does identify as Roman Catholic. In addition, 80% of students choose to live on campus throughout their undergraduate years; each of the school’s 29 single-sex residence halls organize intramural sports teams in nearly fifteen sports. Of course, this fact should come as little surprise–after all, students hold a special place in their hearts for Notre Dame athletics. Legends, an on-campus restaurant and bar, is a popular attraction for students, who gather to cheer on the school’s many successful Division I teams.
Academically, Notre Dame is extremely competitive. The school came in at #19 in The U.S. News and World Report‘s annual rankings for national universities. Furthermore, Notre Dame’s library system is one of the largest in the nation, providing students with a wide range of resources at their fingertips.

Admissions Information
With an admissions rate of 29%, Notre Dame is a selective university which chooses its incoming students from a large pool of competitive applicants. Contrary to many prospective students' expectations, religious affiliation is not a primary factor for admissions, and the university warmly welcomes applicants from all backgrounds and beliefs. According to admissions officials, the single most important factor for admissions is the rigor of a student's secondary school record.
While they don't hold as much weight, other considerations in the decisions process include the applicant's alumni relation, class rank, application essay, extracurricular activities, recommendations, standardized test scores, GPA, and demonstrated talents. Factors such as character, ethnicity, and interest in Notre Dame are also taken into account.
