[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree on Georgetown having a slight advantage as an overall university but I see them as basically the same for undergrad. I also agree about the bigger number of kids who dream of going to ND. Georgetown is also the top choice of a lot of kids but they get more kids who might have preferred other great city schools like Columbia, Harvard, and Brown. It is definitely not a safety school but might be option 1b for some top students.
Georgetown's admissions office has never modernized, which I think has hurt them comparatively, at least from an optics perspective without artificially low acceptance rates and ED, versus other top schools like NW, Vandy, Chicago, and Cornell. [/quote]

According to parchment, applicants accepted to both choose Notre Dame 73% of the time[/quote]
I wouldn't doubt that though Parchment is iffy. People interested in Georgetown beyond just the Catholic school connection wouldn't be interested in applying to ND. Pretty much everything other than the religious affiliation are totally different. 
The other non-shared "similar schools" listed below the two schools are instructive and include Michigan, Purdue, and Indiana for ND and  Penn, Columbia, NYU, and Brown for Georgetown.
