Fake news. They're ranked 21st. |
I guess you could use this for prestige https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Georgetown+University&with=University+of+Notre+Dame Oh, wait, it says that 61% of students admitted to both choose ND. Guess we need to find another metric. |
Endowment -
Notre Dame: $9.7 billion Georgetown: $1.7 billion Median starting salary - Notre Dame: $63K Georgetown: $58K Freshman retention rate - Notre Dame: 98% Georgetown: 96% Yield rate for the class of 2021 - Notre Dame: 56% Georgetown: 47% Percent of students receiving financial aid - Notre Dame: 48% Georgetown: 37% Shucks, I guess those metrics are out too!!!! |
Thanks for setting the record straight! |

You only feel this way because you're Jewish. By most quantifiable measures ND is a better school. |
Yah. The vitriol that people have for Notre Dame because it dares be ...gasp...Catholic is so silly. But predictable. |
Wow, I have long-standing hate for ND (irrationally due to sports and a family member's admissions rejection) and can easily admit (on an anonymous board) that of course ND is the best Catholic school. But if you're not South Bend & football loving and lean a bit cultish, then I don't think its the right fit for a lot of people. Fortunately, BC, GT, Villanova and others are great schools. |
Yes, I totally agree that all of those, plus Holy Cross, Santa Clara and some others are all great schools. And a student could get a great education at any of them. Unfortunately elitist GU booster decided to put down all other Catholic schools, without even a little bit of knowledge about them. |
Dayton, Marquette, St. Mary's College. . . there are so many good Catholic schools that are not on people's minds here in this DC bubble. . . . |
Notre Dame has parietals. That is very different than most schools. |
This is a good thing in my opinion. One of the many reasons I hope DC is admitted. |
Providence and Fordham too. |
Patently incorrect. Nice try. Georgetown and Notre Dame don't belong in the same sentence. |
True Georgetown isn't all that Catholic but they do require two semesters of theology and two semesters of philosophy - which is not typical of non-Catholic schools. And it is influenced somewhat by the social justice emphasis of the Jesuits. |
