People were speculating that ND's rank would plummet with the new methodology for diversity and having less poor kids.

ND reamined T20, and it's working to improve diversity.

Botre Dame is a Catholic school created to educate Catholic young adults from back in the day when Catholics were openly discriminated against and not wanted at all the waspy schools.

It's heritage and its mission are essentially Catholic.

Catholics in the US are historically working and middle class, white, western European. Back in the time when ND was formed, this meant Irish, Italians, Polish, Spanish, French and Portuguese, among others. In modern times Catholic in the US is significantly Hispanic.

Notre Dame specifically is traditionally Irish Catholic. You don't get much whiter than an Irish Catholic.

Of course a Catholic university still holding on to its Catholic identity, is going to be disproportionately Catholic and all that usually represents.

Anyone who complains about this is just being contrary and foolish.



All that talk and no figures. ND has 4% black students. Less than 1% Native American. Not 3% international and so on.


So? The PP specified that diversity in one of the most Catholic schools in the nation is unlikely. ND student body is 80% Catholic.

FWIW, 4% of American Catholics are black, so that number is in line with the general population of Catholics. Also your number on international is inaccurate. It is more like 7%.

Why does every school have to check certain boxes? ND is for a specific kind of student. I think it is wonderful that it is there for those who want to be around others who share their mission and Catholic identity. There are universities that are predominantly Black, Christian, Mormon, Jewish, etc. for those who want that kind of experience. People like to complain about ND because of its visibility and status as a top ranking university that happens to be Catholic and predominantly White.

I hate to burst your bubble but every single school is posting stats like that. Why? because students are applying to many more schools now than in the past. It means nothing. My lousy SLAC even does the same and sends it to me. It's all about fake marketing


I doubt the person who posted this article is reading it because it was from 2019. Are you dense?

PS, ND is now at 12% acceptance rate. But yeah, it's all fake marketing lol.


Why are you so insulting? Does it make you feel better for ten seconds -
Posting? How could pp even know that that particular quote was in an older thread? I never check the dates on page one. I don’t have the time so I have to scan fast. It’s rare for me to be able to read all of the posts, much less check the dates. Many have remarked on this but those in charge say it can’t be done. New people can’t tell and often remark that they wish old threads could be closed so they can’t be resurrected by new users, in particular. The moderator calls these zombie threads because some people find this website by a Google search and don’t understand that the post they have been linked to via Google is al old thread.

How about naming ONE of these many metrics?

They can't. They never can.


They think Georgetown is the best because it is the least Catholic LOL


That's not funny. It's bigoted and insulting.
