[quote=Anonymous]DD is a smart, bubbly kid who works hard, has very good stats, and is very devoted to her Catholic faith. She is very active in her sport (not college level), community service, and performing.  She has expressed interest in a number Catholic universities as well as secular schools. She is not a big partier and not into the fast social scene at her school. She mainly enjoys activities with other like minded kids at our parish when it comes to socializing.

Notre Dame is her first choice, and we feel this would be the best fit for her based on our familiarity with the school. She definitely has the stats. FWIW, there is some legacy in our family (brother and grandfather), and she will be coming out of a strong Catholic HS. I realize ND is also a party school, but I am confident the culture is such that she will find her people.

The other Catholic schools she is considering are BC, Villanova, Georgetown, College of the Holy Cross, and Fordham. Not knowing much about the social scene at these schools, does anyone have any insight which of these schools would be best for a kid like my DD besides ND? Hoping ND comes through, but we all know that's never a sure thing. And I know many of you will suggest we tour the schools...and yes, we re starting that process. Sometimes, you can't really pick up on the social vibe during these tours, and sadly we will be touring some during the summer.

Thanks for any insights you can share.[/quote]
