Reading comprehension here remains poor. Perhaps because dcum loves prestige so much, people assume that is what this ranking is based on. It is a list of “hot” academically strong schools, not a list of the most prestigious schools in the country. Georgetown is a great school but it hasn’t been hot since the 90s. Notre Dame remains the tip top Catholic school but that isn’t enough to make it hot.

The schools listed are all below Notre Dame. Notice it doesn’t also say duke, Vanderbilt Chicago, Northwestern, Stanford, etc..

Emory and NYU are not below Notre Dame. If you're going by just USnews then I would wait for the new rankings to come out before making such claims.


They have been lower for the past 50 years.

Not so, NYU yes. Bet Emory was ranked 17 around 2009 when ND was ranked 23. So I don't know what pp is talking about.

What is Georgetown's acceptance rate, do you know?
Ah its 12% RD and 10% ED
If that's not hot I don't know what is. Does it have to be only single digits to qualify??

How does one quantify "hot"? Seems very arbitrary.

LOL it's funny how everyone is hoping ND falls. I guess we shall see, but my gut tells me it will remain in top 20 and worse case top 25. It hasn't been below 20 since 1994 when it was at 25, and that's the lowest ranking it has ever had. The beauty of ND is that a ranking drop isn't going to change the fact that the school is highly desired by Catholics all over the US and it will continue to be the strongest Catholic university, and an academic/athletic powerhouse. That's the main reason my kid wanted ND...best of both worlds.


You're right we will see. But I will say ND is #1 in the nation for alumni giving, a metric US news is getting rid of this year. So ND should not gloat so soon.

Changes in number of applications received and acceptance rates. With the state schools, it looks like the focused on oos acceptance rates.

None of these schools can hold a candle to the Public Ivies. All this jockeying to come up with new lists and designations are a waste of time.

There are the Ivies, the Public Ivies, then everyone else.

Sigh.

Say what you will about the old college message boards, but if they were still around you wouldn’t have clowns like this talking incessant booty chatter.

Public Ivies do not refer to publicly funded institutions. They are “public” in the sense of being more broadly available to the rungs of society that lack sufficient prestige to go True Ivy.

One of the most prominent Public Ivies is Notre Dame, which is a private school. Others are Cornell and Penn State, which are nominally Ivy League but not True Ivies.

Guys at my high school used to make this mistake all the time. Thought we were past that.
