[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends little bit on the major, but in general;

Notre Dame (T20 school with 6th or 7th biggest endowment)

Berkeley (go here if engineering or CS)
UVA (go here if Virginian and money matters)

Boston College 
Boston Univeristy
Tulane

Colby 
UMCP
Vilanova

Colgate
Fordham

If accepted to both

Notre Dame vs UVA
79% choose Notre Dame. 95% would probably choose Notre Dame if cost is same.

Notre Dame vs Berkeley
60% choose Notre Daem. proabaly 80% if cost is same, 20% might be CS/engineering for Berkeley.

UVA is clearly a step down from Notre Dame.
Notre Dame is ranked higher and studetns clearly favor it over Berkeley or UVA.

oh my god. you are so weird.[/quote]

+1000. This is a weird ND person.  Great school and all, but seriously to try and say its better than Cal is moronic.[/quote]

It's ranked higher, and data doesn't lie.
What's wrong with people here??

have you ever worked in the professional world? or even had a semblance of exposure to it? I'm not sure where you get the impression that HR people are parsing out "well, according to Parchment, most people choose Notre Dame over Berkeley so ND applicant it is!" that's....not how it works. that's not how any of this works. I'm in HR, and we do have our target schools for recruiting, but beyond that? I promise you it really does.not.matter. and certainly not at the microscopically granular level you think it does. OMG.  the idea that anyone besides weirdos on DCUM cares about "THE DATA!!!!!" you present is so delusional as to be scary.

-someone who doesn't give a crap about ND vs. Berkeley[/quote]

+1 And I would add that when you encourage your kids to think that any one of these very good school will make or break them, you are the problem. It's no wonder that young employees are so anxious and in their heads that they can't produce work.[/quote]
