If that’s your kid she will be great there. And then if a safety is needed Holy Cross is a baby BC however Worcester kinda sucks. Good luck with ND!

If your daughter is in the mix for Notre Dame and feels it checks the boxes in a lot of different spaces, I would think about the following schools for Reaches, Targets and Safeties (some not Catholic - but felt the culture of the school might work)
Reaches - BC, Davidson, Rice
Target - Holy Cross, Case Western
Safety - Loyola, Providence (Honors College), St. Olaf

They have meals together, play sports together, do Bible study etc. You do not have to go to a Catholic School to find your people and will be disappointed to find out how not Catholic some of them actually are.
