Acceptance rate seems like a foolish thing to judge a school by. It’s just a measure of how many kids without a chance to get in that you’ve convinced to apply. It’s cruel.
As well as ED emphasis and yield management. Any school can contrive a low acceptance rate
Soliciting garbage international applications is another trick which doesn’t get enough attention. Schools like Amherst get like 40 pct of apps internationally with a tiny fraction admitted

Notre Dame seems more Catholic oriented than other Catholic colleges. Every person I’ve known to attend was Catholic, very smart, and well rounded. I think applicants are more more self selecting.

Notre Dame has no ED. ED lowers acceptance rates significantly.
No NDs yield is higher than most RD schools. Including ivys. It's the fact that it's not that popular and doesn't get a ton of applicants. Wake Forest might be more selective at this point.

Conservative evangelicals are ruining the schools. Georgetown seems to have found the sweet spot.

ND is a great school but it isn’t that selective. There is certain profile of kid interested in the school who are not typically the top students. Yet they are students interested in working hard and intellectually curious. Typically students leaders but not the crazy smart. But again, not to knock the school. I think the education is as good as any institution.

It's not a selective school, it has a self-selective student body. That's the difference.
Stated differently, it’s yield (for a non-ED school) is really high.
