BC is ranked 37. Not top 30

Not ND unless you're Catholic and apply REA. My daughter really wanted to go there and was waitlisted RD with a 3.9 from a top private. She was accepted to several Ivies and other top20s. In retrospect we misplayed this as the only kids who have gotten in over from her school over the last 4 years were baptized Catholics who applied early. I'm sure it varies by high school but this was our experience.


ND is only 80% Catholic, so some non-Catholic students are getting in. ND says they don't track demonstrated interest, but those non-Catholic students must show somehow that they are serious about ND. The yield rate is crazy high for a school without ED (that isn't Harvard or MIT).


The 20% percent non-Catholics are likely athletes.

That should be illegal for a school to be 80% 1 religion.

Not quite, Tulane 66% white, NYU 21%. Tulane international 6%, NYU 26%.

It is old data, but median family income at Tulane was $180,000 in 2017, median family income at NYU was $149,000. Doubtful that Tulane has moved closer to NYU given the ongoing implementation of NYU Promise:

Are you for real? It is a private Jesuit college.

A Catholic university is an institution of higher education founded and operated by the Catholic Church or one of its religious orders, which integrates Catholic faith and intellectual tradition into its curriculum and campus life while maintaining academic freedom and excellence. These universities aim to unify the search for truth with a foundation in the Catholic faith, offering a holistic education that develops students intellectually, ethically, and spiritually.

20% is just the right amount.

I always love the people who normally bash Catholics but want to send their kids to Catholic school since they offer fantastic education, particularly the Jesuits.

Notre Dame is not Jesuit.

None of which are actually easy, of course.

Catholic schools can’t be 80% Catholic??

1) they require applicants to post ALL scores, not superscore and not the one they want
2) until this cycle, they have not been on the Common App, so applicants were self-selecting.


FYI - Georgetown is not on the common app this year.
