I don't love the campus(es) or the business and nursing focus (unless the kid in question is focused on business or nursing). I also don't think the spirit of the place comes that close to ND's.

Not to burst your bubble, but her stats/resume that you listed don't have something to make her standout from all the other applicants at ND/BC/Villanova. Out of that list, maybe Villanova. I would drop the bar a little and check out some of the other Catholic Schools at the next level down.

Because of her grades or SAT score?

Yeah, we got almost like...trade school vibes from SLU. Hard to explain, but DD - a prospective poli sci major - didn't like it.

Soory, I misread the SAT score, but she does need a differentiator.

Apply to ND, St. Mary‘s and Villanova.

Also attend every ND open house/visit you can find in the DC area.

I like your list but Loyola MD isn’t in the same league as Nova, nor SCU for that matter. Closer to the next tier down in most metrics.

Easier to get into Norte Dame coming from a public high school less girls to compete with. My daughter's Visi class 5-6 girls got in. One student dn even though higher SAT/ACT scores, more AP classes and volunteer hrs, legacy and a current sibling attending.

No way. ND loves Catholic high school kids.

Those schools want good students who are Catholic. It’s not all about super stats.

Maybe her parents wanted her to go there because SIB was there, but she wasn’t into it. It’s a very religious school - you have to be ‘all in’ with that.
It comes out in the essays.

My DD looked and wouldn’t even apply and she was coming from all girls Catholic.
