[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol... I'm Catholic and ND definitely does not play with the Ivies or Stanford... LOL.[/quote]

Being Catholic doesn't give you any inside knowledge on which schools Notre Dame "plays with."[/quote]

Do they teach reading for comprehension and critical thinking at ND? The PP is obviously mentioning that they are Catholic to show that they have an affiliation that might make them predisposed to award more points to ND. But even as a Catholic, they find the idea that ND is on the level of Ivies or Stanford to be laughable.

One of the reasons these threads are so tedious is that all the ND boosters are kind of dim, which makes arguing with them exhausting. That should really tell you everything you need to know.[/quote]

NP.  It is interesting to see the various perspectives of hating on ND.  I have categorized them as follows:

1) Those who are anti-Catholic and liberal who would consider every other top 20 as elite -- but never ND.

2) Those who are Catholic (or not), applied, and were rejected.  Admissions to this school is becoming more and more challenging, with many big donor legacies even getting rejected or deferred.  Especially those who applied along with the ivies, thinking it might be a backup...it is highly possible some HYPS admits were rejected from ND.

3) The Georgetown boosters.

4) And then the roll of the mill DCUM haters in general...they love piling on the negativity at every opportunity.

I don't "hate" ND, but I do think the boosters are over the top.  Lots of my family went there and have nephews and nieces there now.  It's a good school with a lot of spirit. But it's still not in the Ivy category.[/quote]

I don't think any here said ND was in ivy category.  Is ND a school with prestige?  Yes.  Is it an ivy?  No...their sports teams do not play in the ivy league.  In fact, I would further say the sports at ND are significantly better, making it not only rigorous, but a fun place to be.  Can't say that about many of the ivies.  Go Irish![/quote]
