[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think admissions percentage is a stupid thing to judge a school by. 
ND is - by its own account and by clearly shown on this thread - not a school for everyone.  It is was it is.  [b]A great smallish sized Catholic school in the middle of nowhere,[/b] with fantastic academics and a focus on undergraduate education that is missing at a lot of T25 schools.  For some kids, including my daughter, that's the perfect fit.  For some kids, including plenty of her awesome friends, it would have been a disastrous fit.

Because it makes no attempt to hide what it is, or to recruit kids who wouldn't thrive there to apply, the applicant pool is largely self selecting.

It also has a really high yield rate for those same reason - those kids who apply truly want to attend.  It's seldom someone's fall-back option.

As for the general anti-Catholic bigotry and ignorance - I've come to accept that from DCUM.

As for the anti-Indiana rhetoric... yeah...  that's fair.  But the ND kids have as much to do with Indiana politics as the Georgetown kids have to do with the latest DCPS drama.  It's just not part of their lives.[/quote]
How is South Bend "middle of no where"??[/quote]
