[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dame is more selective than any school outside of the top Ivies and Stanford.  Its test scores are through the roof.  It has a smaller applicant pool than many of the other top schools because it’s Catholic and many top applicants write it off for that reason alone.  The applicant pool that it does attract is supremely qualified and the students that it admits enroll at a very high rate.  [/quote]
Notre Dame 
1410-1550
Emory
1430-1530
Georgetown 
1380-1530
WashU
1490-1570
Cornell 
1450-1560
I could keep going,there all sky high. [/quote]
50% of Notre Dame is test optional. Washu is also 50% and Cornell is 70 % test optional. Emory is only 30% and Georgetown is 10%. [/quote]

Not quite. This cannot be determined from CDS. From 21-22 CDS (most recent year available) 48% of students enrolling in fall 21 submitted SAT, and 52% submitted ACT. Because there might be some students who submitted both, it is unclear how many submitted neither. ACT has long been more popular in the Midwest than SAT. 
ND ACT 25-75 = 32-35
Emory 37% SAT, 27% ACT, 32-34
Georgeton SAT 64%, ACT 38% 32-35
WUSTL SAT 25%, ACT 41% 33-35
Cornell SAT 43%, ACT 17% 33-34
Harvard SAT 54%, ACT 31% 33-36

As PPP said, these are all very high and there is extensive overlap. By test scores, these are very similar populations of students.[/quote]
