I'm not a ND grad and have to think some people would absolutely choose ND over an Ivy, especially beyond HYP. It is one of those schools that many people really do grow up dreaming about attending from a young age. ND also has more $$ than half of the Ivy League (only Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Penn have larger endowments), which doesn't hurt and will continue to help in the future. Those of you who live in high-end areas must see kids wearing ND stuff! Having moved to the MD suburbs after being in Palo Alto and Mountain View, CA for most of the last decade, I've seen a lot of ND gear on both coasts. Will the 0-2 football start hurt applications  ?

Emory isn't in the top 15. |

I never see any. I must not be in a "high-end" enough area. |

You post this on every single thread. I'm sorry you were denied. It's probably time to move on. |

Probably not . College football gives ND a lot of visibility and popularity. Did Rudy grow up wanting to play at Harvard or Stanford?

Good point. Slumming it...head for harvard or Stanford. High end is ND bound! |

the Chevy Chase neighborhoods surrounding Blessed Sacrament / CCC have some car stickers. I was shocked to see an ND badge on the car of our newest neighbor in CCDC because we're outside the orbit (tentacles?) of Blessed Sacrament. I worry we're getting more Repube in 20015, I've definitely noticed an uptick as the area has grown so much more expensive compared to its ACLU / journalist / Jewish / non-profit days. |

Look, can we please stop being so silly. Hate Notre Dame, love Notre Dame. Think it’s a great school, think it sucks. Whatever. The fact remains that it’s an extremely selective school and that its domestic undergraduate student body is a lot more diverse geographically than just about any school in the country - including every school in the Ivy League. It’s had many students from the Northeast and Far West literally for generations, because that’s where the majority of Catholics are located. California in general. Philly, New York, Boston, Baltimore etc. Just spend a couple minutes googling the actual statistics instead of arguing about how often you see a local kid in a Notre Dame t-shirt.
Ridiculous. |

It is impressive to me that Georgetown continues to attract such impressive students and rank as highly as they do with their financial limitations. If they can continue to invest well and generate high-end donations, they have a lot of upside. Gtown is tied with Emory this year but has an endowment smaller than many of the elite liberal arts colleges (Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona, Wellesley, and Bowdoin). Peers like Emory, WashU, Vandy, Rice, USC, Notre Dame, and NYU all have endowments of over $5.5 billion compared under $2.6 billion for GTown. $$ is a real issue for Georgetown. |

It also isn't just a first-choice college for Catholics! That was true probably true 50+ years ago but thankfully things have changed for Catholics and Notre Dame. |

+1 Schools like Notre Dame, Georgetown, and BC attract great students from all areas and backgrounds. I think the poster's shirt point was about the pride and visibility that ND grads and their families or even just die-hard fans have. There is a reason Under Armour signed them to a $90 million apparel deal. |

It is funny how we can take the rankings movements so personally as alums. I see a drop of a few and say, what the heck?
College presidents must LOVE today. |

UVA moved up a spot, so why does that make them losers? And are now clearly ahead of UNC where they had been tied before. |
