My apologies, i read what i'd just written-AND- I haven't given up! Your advice was awesome I now know to look into getting more involved with my Parish and Campus ministry before I graduate and see if ministry's the right fit for me thanks again

Thank you very much for your replies and your kindess! I guess it was a long shot-thinking about getting into Notre Dame with my background. Just not sure where I'm headed after Undergrad. What do you do with a dual degree in Religious Studies and Philosophy anyway? Who knows maybe someday. Hey, thanks again and best of luck to you

Hey there, Recently, I discovered that I have an oppurtunity to go to Notre Dame and study for an MDiv for free because I'm Catholic. I'm interested to hear from anyone who has applied to the program, what your background in undergrad was, what the admissions process is like, etc, anything you think would be helpful. Just some background information about me: I'll have a dual BA in Philosophy and Religious Studies Spring 2013. I want to study for the MDiv 1) because it can help me get into a profession where I can help others, and 2) I want to understand my own religious tradition before I study any other (thinking of the possibility of going into the academia) My only concern is that I have not been very active in the Catholic faith for awhile. I've strayed far from it over the past few years when I became interested in Mystery traditions and Asian Religions. Only now am I starting to explore Early Christianity, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Christian Mysticism. I would love to go to Notre Dame and benifit from all that they have to offer scholastically and spiritually, but I don't know if I can call my self a Catholic and enter into the program if I were accepted. I plan to explore my faith further over the next year and see if I want to get a Catholic MDiv. Basically I don't want to feel like I'm cheating the school or pulling the wool over their eyes to get a free education. Any information and guidance would be helpful Thank you!
