[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was looking at Notre Dame’s admissions page —[b]“we empower brilliant energetic thinkers who are motivated to change the world.” [/b]

Heady stuff! That’s a pretty high threshold. I suppose there are enough students like that, but most 17/18 year olds have no idea what they want to do in life, let alone change the world!

Are regular high-achieving students ever admitted to Notre Dame— kids who have lots of APs, good work ethic, well-liked, good EC—or just the students who have extraordinary experiences and insights?[/quote]

You actually believe what an admissions page says?  That's all fluff marketing. [/quote]

So you’re saying regular kids ARE admitted?? You don’t have to be a super star?[/quote]

Nothing special. 
[b]Same as other T20 schools.[/quote][/b]

It's less selective than Ivies - especially because it's applicant pool is mostly Catholic.[/quote]

I was responding that not all students are super stars, and mostly regular kids.

ND kids are as smart as many other elite school kids.

It says they are smarter than some Ivies such as Dartmouth and Cornell, but I think it's neglidgeable and doesn't mean much.
All smart kids.
