Yea, Notre Dame is a "safety" school. You know nothing.
+1 my kids has 34 ACT 3.9uw and 9 APs and it is a high reach (and top choice). Who is it a safety for?
Trolls who want to annoy you.
+1. Be smarter.
Maybe it's a safety compared to some ivies? Not necessarily compared to other catholic schools, though. I went to one of the schools in a larger city mentioned on here, and it wasn't "conservative." Young adults will young adult...
^^^ it was a jesuit school -- not sure how much of a difference that makes. There were some jesuit priests teaching; there were also some liberal faculty members. .ost of the students came from catholic high schools.

There are lots of nice smaller Catholic colleges in New England that are hidden gems. That's a great area for students.

Catholic U is the official university of the Catholic Church in the U.S. It is more conservative than Jesuit schools, but I wouldn't call it conservative. The majority of the faculty and a large percentage of students are liberals who are dedicated to social justice. That said, there are a lot of students and faculty for whom faith is very important. That's not true at all Catholic colleges.
This is an accurate depiction of Catholic U. It sounds like your DD wants a school that people choose because it's Catholic vs. a school that people choose despite it being Catholic. Many of the schools mentioned here (BC, Santa Clara, etc) fall into the latter category.
Yes and that’s what I meant about bringing up the Newman list. The kids who go to these schools are there because they want a very catholic school.

How do you define safety?
Marymount University in Arlington would likely fit the bill for a guaranteed admission for an ok-ish student. It has small classes and committed faculty but is very small and can have a commuter vibe.

I know a lot of graduates from Catholic. Many went to Catholic school but are not pious per se. It is an underrated school-- has very good architecture, engineering, nursing, poli sci.
