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.
Notre Dame student's accepted to medical school is at 84% which is almost twice as high as the national average.
That's around the same for all T25's.

Anonymous wrote:Anyone have experience with ND for a student who is NOT a practicing Catholic (one parent raised Catholic, one non, and neither parent is particularly religious, though the kid has been to mass, occasionally, goes with grandma, etc). Every single other thing about the school checks ds' boxes and he would gladly apply REA and give up the shot at ED elsewhere, but he is worried he will feel like an outsider - though when he toured and met current students, they all told him he would not. But 80% Catholic is obv significant.

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.
