[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dame suffers the way a lot of top-flight Midwestern and Southern schools suffer - they get looked down on because of their location when in fact they are excellent.

OP I know you are looking for Jesuit/Catholic environments, but there are some amazing secular universities in the Midwest where you DD will not only get a quality education but also get a higher chance of $$$. Schools like Wash U. in St Louis have not only the best faculty and facilities, but also massive endowments and are using them to attract bright kids who otherwise would not want to spend 4 years in St Louis.

I went to Purdue University and did really well out of it - Notre Dame and IU were our rivals and I can say that Notre Dame kids are as smart as any of the Ivy grads I've met in DC. [/quote]

St. Louis is actually a pretty nice city, esp. the area around Wash U. But they don't give merit-based scholarships either... SLU might, though it is much lower ranked.

For OP, I think both Boston College and Notre Dame are great (though again, I'm not sure they would offer merit-based aid either). I would have DD apply to both and then take a visit - I think it's likely she'll get in to both places.[/quote]
