Why are we quoting US news? We all know how absurd it’s gotten. Fingers crossed we get into #42 Rutgers but at least we’ll have #51 William and Mary to fall back on. Since I got into #69 Tulane I sure am feeling better about my chances at #57 UC Merced. US news ranking has devolved into some sort of weird DEI fan fic. Has absolutely nothing to do with reputation

ND is over 80% Catholic. GU might be 40%. Draw your own conclusions.

Full pay family kids looking at Notre Dame and Holy Cross as a safety. Newman Centers are at our other top 25 schools.

Why go to Fairfield when school is ranked 139th by US News. Perspective, UConn is ranked 69th.

Um. It's "get rich" to help the poor. Or something.

You left off ND. Villanova also a strong choice these days. We know more and more going to Fairfield.

Neighbor transferred. Wasn’t a fit from the beginning. She thought it was socially tough. She did say it is easier for boys since there are so few that they have to stick together.
