Notre Dame is a better school all around than Michigan, but it is so much more difficult to get into.[/quote]

In a thread full of assinine posts, this one takes the cake.  Notre Dame is a fabulous university with a heavy focus on undergraduate education.  It's Mendoza College of Business is consistently ranked as one of the best undergrad business programs.  Lots of DCUM posters like to claim that Notre Dame is homogenous, not diverse, too white, etc., etc.  I'd wager that in a school with about 9,000 undergraduates who come from all over the USA and the world, the homogeneity isn't as bad as many DCUM posters like to believe.

Michigan is a fabulous university too, but it's cut from a much different cloth than Notre Dame.  Michigan's reputation is stellar across the board, but it's more of the "Berkeley model," where the sheer breadth of excellence across UM's graduate and professional programs has resulted in the undergraduate program being regarded as top-flight as well.  Michigan does well across the board in every ranking I've seen because both its undergraduate and graduate programs are so well respected.

To me, they are both excellent schools, and I believe a kid could get a great experience at ND/Mendoza or Michigan/Ross.  But they are quite different schools, so you have to spend some time thinking about whether you want giant public with great football, or smaller Catholic with great football.[/quote]
