ND has the better business program.
Georgetown has better IR. Neither super for CS, ND edges out on engineering. |

lol.. how do you compare engineering when one school doesn't even offer engineering. |

| ND is more of a first choice school than Georgetown. Georgetown kids are Ivy wannabes. |

ND is often the first choice of devoutly Catholic families. Georgetown, not necessarily. |

ND is more of a HELL YES or a NO, not for me — and not a lot in between I’ve found. |

so you get it ... though "edges out" was a bit kinder than Georgetown has literally no engineering, so you'll have to transfer out if this is something you decide at 18 you are interested in. |

My kid had the "stats" for Ivy but didn't even apply to any. Chose GU for SFS. |

I have found that the kids who apply to Notre Dame really want NOTRE DAME. They're not looking for "a medium sized school with school spirit" or "a school that's Catholic but not too Catholic" or "a school with a good business program" or "a friendly community." I mean, all of those things can apply to ND (depending on your perspective) but it's Notre Dame specifically that they're after. Georgetown on the other hand doesn't seem to have the "brand loyalty" that ND does. Most of the kids I know who wound up at Georgetown or applied there didn't do it specifically because of the name, but moreso because they wanted...a good IR school. A school in an urban setting. A medium sized school on the east coast. And so on and so forth. And that happened to be Georgetown. Notre Dame really does have a unique culture/"brand" that isn't replicated at any other university. Georgetown certainly does have its unique elements but it is not THAT different from many of the other schools ranked similarly. But Notre Dame is. |

so cute that you lump blacks in there with hispanic (second largest group after white at ND) to disguise its abysmal black numbers at 3-4 percent. |

Georgetown’s black numbers are far more abysmal if you consider where it is located. |

HYP, perhaps. Rest? |

LOL! That's a good way of putting it. My kids were horrified when I suggested that they apply there. They couldn't handle the idea of single-sex dorms and parietals. I would have been much more comfortable with those parameters in place, which is probably because I'm old

[b] More than double that of ND. Shall we talk about Asian American numbers? You can't win at this. ND's diversity figures are abysmal |

And that ND is far more solidly catholic, which has lower Black numbers than the general population. Black and Hispanic are often lumped together in a conversation about diversity those are the numbers that show diversity. They're the URM, because they’re underrepresented. Right in the name. Unlike Asians. Both ND and Georgetown are not as diverse as many top 25 schools. But ND is more diverse than Georgetown looking at CDS, which are most accurate and most recent enrollment numbers. |

Georgetown’s black numbers are more abysmal. Why that is the case seems lost on you, but it need not be spelled out for the average reader. |
