Not so fast. Notre Dame Law is ranked 20th and their business school in top 40. Can’t beat a fall weekend at Notre Dame for football beautiful campus.

No wonder any research based rankings they are not even in the ballpark of their undergraduate teaching rankings…
Who cares. My DS doesn't want to do his graduate work at the same school as undergrad. Notre Dame does things their own way and it's worked well for a long long long time.
Except for research output. So much for undergrad being involved with research BS that they sell to parents and prospective students.
My daughter went to ND. Had a great time, but my son at Cornell had 100x better research opportunities as an undergrad than my daughter had….it wasn’t even a close comparison.

2025 US News, ND 18th, Georgetown 24 , and Boston College 37. The gap between ND and BC is huge. I Illinois and Ga Tech are ranked higher than Boston College. Do BC boosters consider UMass at 58 a peer. As for Holy Cross unfair comparison as HC is a LAC with 3000 students. like comparing Colgate with Syracuse or Davidson with Duke.

A lot of kids at ND are really only nominally Catholic. I don't think this will be an issue especially since he has experience of Catholicism.

Close. HUGE gap over HC.
Their football program is strong enough. They played in the national championship game.
They have everything going on (except location for my kid).
Location not an adjustment for my DS since we are from the Upper Midwest. Although, he was also accepted to UT Austin which is a tad warmer

Every college has a record number of applications this year. This doesn't add up--unless the number of high school students increase a lot this year.

Notre Dame announced prior to this admission season that they would be need-blind for internationals. An increase was expected for this reason.
They are also still test optional.

Are they still test optional? All the selective TO schools seem to have had a surge.

Most highly-ranked schools experienced surges this year. Will there be a thread for every single one?
