[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Nope. ND>Georgetown>Holy Cross>Nova=BC.  Georgetown is most secular and gets perhaps a higher% of non Catholic applicants. ND has the huge endowment and football branding advantage. Holy Cross has niche spot of being top25 LAC. Now Villanova has some great news but needed as US News rank fell to 58 fairly low. BC and Villanova rely on sports success for favorability- football and hoops respectively. But ND, Georgetown, and HC have a larger much older prestige advantage to overcome don’t believe even Pope Leo can overcome.[/quote]

Nope but closer.

It was ND>Georgetown>BC=Villanova>Holy Cross

Now ND>Georgetown>Villanova>BC>Holy Cross[/quote]

Nope.

Georgetown is much farther down thst list for Catholics.[/quote]

Perhaps. But it is also the only one non-Catholics will consider so it has a much broader applicant pool. I know plenty of Jews who would apply to Georgetown but none of the others.[/quote]

And the post is about desirability of Catholic Universities for Catholic students.[/quote]

Yes, but Georgetown will have much better selectivity metrics because of its broader applicant pool.

I work on Wall Street. I would hire a Georgetown grad in a heartbeat over Holy Cross. I know there is the tight Holy Cross network that takes care of itself but otherwise it is perceived as lower. I also know tons of Chaminade, Regis, and Delbarton grads and the ranking I provided is how those schools rank them.

I don't understand why Holy Cross is propped up on DCUM like Bucknell, Northeastern and a few others. Perfectly fine school but their aggressive alums/fans try way to hard to make them seem more impressive than they are.[/quote]
