College of the Holy Cross?

Notre Dame may be cultish in the sense that it's apparently of great appeal to some while lacking allure for others. I might place Duke, Georgetown and Tufts in the same category, without intending to knock any of these schools.

It's like the NEU nutjobs all over again. Coincidence it's the same part of the country? What's next, UMass Amherst is the best college in Amherst?

Can say that about any top private. Dukies, Domers, and Crusaders have lot o be proud of. All very good options for top kids obviously Duke>ND>HC. Georgetown is going nowhere with bad sports and relatively small endowment. Tufts used to be better. Watch out for Vandy. Their alums are unbearable now.

👏👏👏 The Georgetown hater was able to force an irrelevant comment on an unrelated thread. Took longer than usual though.

NEU, BC, and BU are strivers.

Anyone can do an inequality with 3 terms. It doesn't mean they're that closely comparable. Like for your 3, if we were to convert it to paper money, it'd be something like $20>$10>$1

ND, Holy Cross and Duke are normal kids would add Dartmouth, Colby and Colgate. Not many protests on those campuses. Appealing to our family.

USNWR: Duke #7, ND T#20
THE (national): Duke #17, ND #54
THE (intl): Duke #28, ND #194
Niche: Duke #18, ND #29
Forbes: Duke #22, ND #33
WSJ: Duke #68, ND #20

That WSJ ranking must be the best indicator of academic ranking. After all it has HC #58, UNC #77, UCLA #80, JHU #92

Duke is an impossible admit with more apps than Harvard. ND and HC appeal is with smart Catholics.

Funniest booster thread on here. Funnier than that Bucknell booster toward the beginning of the year. Funnier than the Northeastern booster. Funnier than the Wake booster. Just great stuff. And such stamina!

UMASS alumna couldn’t get into Holy Cross in the 90s. DD applying to HC as full pay kid with lots of clubs. Hope for best.

For Linguistics? Absolutely. Just like Holy Cross is the best college in Massachusetts for Classics.
