[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the Catholic community Notre Dame, BC and Georgetown are Harvard, Princeton and Yale.

BC is fun, safe, outside the city... quick ride on the T to Boston.

Most people I know that go there are rich Catholics. [/quote]

Perhaps, but Georgetown is in a different league from Notre Dame and BC. Miles above.[/quote]

You're joking right?  Do you know where ND is ranked in comparison to Georgetown?  Apparently not.  And besides the ranking, I can name many reasons why ND is a better school than Georgetown.
[/quote]

You are incorrect; further, you protest too much. Georgetown is a more prestigious, selective, and better school than ND by every single metric.[/quote]

Agree--Not to mention the huge chasm in name recognition, [b]plus who in their right mind would choose Podunk Indiana over DC[/b] (and all the attendant clerkship opportunities, cultural activities, food, and proximity to similar opportunities)?  Not even a gray area.[/quote]
Well, apparently a lot of people. Notre Dame's yield is 55.4%, while Georgetown's is 47.4%. [/quote]

Georgetown's endowment is $1.66B while Notre Dame's is $13.1B.   And Georgetown's enrollment is actually larger.  [/quote]
Holy crap. That’s pretty stark.[/quote]

Notre Dame's endowment is truly big league, higher than half of the Ivy League schools and higher than Duke, Wash U, Chicago, JHU, etc.  Georgetown's endowment is more like a small liberal arts college.  There's simply no comparison between the two. [/quote]

Good point. Difference is striking. [b]And plenty of small LACs with bigger endowments per student than Georgetown. [/b]Some even bigger than ND’s. [/quote]
Pretty much every selective LAC has an endowment per student than is multiple times larger than Georgetown’s...which begs the question of why is Georgetown’s endowment so low?[/quote]

intl alum don't donate. unless truly loaded and trying to get their kid in 30 years later. [/quote]
There are a LOT of schools that have as many or more international students as GU yet still have significantly higher endowment per student - URochester, Mount Holyoke, Brandeis, Emory, Case Western, Penn, Uchicago, St Johns College, Bryn Mawr, Earlham, Grinnell, Knox, Claremont McKenna, Macalester, Smith, College of Wooster, the list goes on. So that can’t be it. [/quote]
