Each student is applying to more schools.

No surprise Cornell endowment is half of ND’s . Big Red of Cornell only $10 billion.

And yet, their research output and opportunities for research dwarf Notre Dame…..it not even a close contest….

No wonder any research based rankings they are not even in the ballpark of their undergraduate teaching rankings…

Who cares. My DS doesn't want to do his graduate work at the same school as undergrad. Notre Dame does things their own way and it's worked well for a long long long time.

Except for research output. So much for undergrad being involved with research BS that they sell to parents and prospective students.
My daughter went to ND. Had a great time, but my son at Cornell had 100x better research opportunities as an undergrad than my daughter had….it wasn’t even a close comparison.

Notre Dame student's accepted to medical school is at 84% which is almost twice as high as the national average.

Do BC boosters consider UMass at 58 a peer. As for Holy Cross unfair comparison as HC is a LAC with 3000 students. like comparing Colgate with Syracuse or Davidson with Duke.

Ahh, the pp who always pops up to spar about how low tier BC is. It’s consistently ranked 37. No one’s tried to argue otherwise.
Props to ND.

Every single other thing about the school checks ds' boxes and he would gladly apply REA and give up the shot at ED elsewhere, but he is worried he will feel like an outsider - though when he toured and met current students, they all told him he would not. But 80% Catholic is obv significant.

I'm an ND grad who is protestant (Episcopalian). It helps to be conversant in Catholicism and Catholic traditions, but I in no way felt like an outsider. I loved my four years there.

Sure. Nobody is arguing the quality of the UG education. My daughter has done well. I was simply pointing out that it is amazing that for such a highly ranked university, that their graduate programs in general are mediocre and that the faculty research in general is also mediocre for such a highly regarded university.

That's around the same for all T25's. ND also does committee letters so.it doesn't include every student that is interested in applying to med school.

33 percent went TO. Ridiculous.
