[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are some hard numbers to compare.  Source 2018-19 CDS

6 year graduation rate 2017 cohort:
Georgetown:  96%
Notre Dame:  98%

Middle 50% ACT:
Georgetown:  31-34
Notre Dame:  32-35

Middle 50% SAT:
Georgetown:  1370-1530
Notre Dame:  1400-1550

Bottom line, kids enrolling at ND are by and large smarter and most likely to graduate on time.

Meh.  Both have extremely high graduation rates, among the highest in the country.  The difference is negligible.  And I'm an ND booster.[/quote]

But you cannot argue the hard numbers, which show that ND students have higher test scores than Georgetown students.  It is pretty consistent, hence a significant datapoint.

I think both data points are pretty marginable.  I certainly don't think they mean ND students are "smarter" because I don't think small differences in test scores make one student smarter than another.  I do know that ND places a very high premium on test scores, though.
