In 2015, it looks like Notre Dame accepted 24% of legacy students, versus 7.6% for Georgetown.

http://www.thehoya.com/legacy-status-tips-admission-scales/

Notre Dame legacy admit rate was 45 percent in 2014, according to Don Bishop:

"“Fortunately,” says Bishop, “our alumni produce pretty bright kids. The academic profile of that group is quite good.” The admit rate for these applicants is about 45 percent"

Obviously Georgetown is a more desirable school.

Love how this poster gives us more opportunities to prove him wrong.

I think you’re both petty idiots and I certainly wouldn’t use questionable, self-reported parchment data to support my case. But I am curious why Catholics would find it important to attend a catholic university?

Nope
GU yield- 51%
ND yield- 56%

Actually, ND was 57% last year according to their website: https://admissions.nd.edu/apply/admission-statistics/
And ND's yield for REA last year was 66% https://admissions.nd.edu/connect/news/notre-dame-admits-1-534-early-action-applicants-to-the-class-of-2023/

But as another poster mentioned, while these stats demonstrate that ND is a more desirable school, there are many other facts that were pointed out earlier in this thread that prove that ND is a stronger institution. Love how the lone GU booster keeps trying to prove otherwise. We actually wanted our DS to apply to GU, but he did not like the campus.

Wow, thanks for sharing. This article shows that EA applications for Georgetown are down from last year. ND, on the other hand saw a steep increase over last year...continuing the trend of increasing early applicants. They don’t have a need to use excuses that Geortown uses, like blaming the downward trend on the issue of other schools’ binding early decision programs. ND is playing in the same field as GT with its REA program and saw a 17% increase in early action applications. Sounds to me like the gap between these schools continues to grow, putting ND in a completely different league than GT. Whoever shared this article is being fooled by the smoke and mirrors GT is using by accepting a small number and likely deferring many. Does anyone know how many were deferred? Doesn’t GT usually defer a large percentage of EA applicants to broaden their RD pool?

So???? Assuming, arguendo, that what you say is true, this has no bearing on which school is at the very top. Nice try.

Even without these stats, ND has many other aspects that puts it on top. Nice try.

Patently incorrect.

Georgetown does not deny anyone in EA. Decision is either Accepted or Deferred.

Notre Dame is definitely the most Catholic of the MAINSTREAM Catholic universities, like BC, Georgetown, Villanova, Marquette, Dayton, etc. It’s not nearly as Catholic as schools like Wyoming Catholic, a Franciscan u of Steubenville, U of Dallas. But I think that’s probably a good call on their part.

I've never even heard of those last three.

Yah, that's the point. They are attended only by the most Catholic of Catholics. Like Pat Buchanan types. These are the people who think even Notre Dame is too liberal/not Catholic enough. Georgetown or BC? Forget about it. Never in a bazillion years would they support such institutions.

I am the PP that said ND was the most Catholic (among the four that are being compared here). I was not referencing ND against the entire nation of Catholic universities. So yes, there are those who think ND is liberal.
