University of Notre Dame, the institution that European and Asian banks and think tanks regularly go to to find potential recruits…
Boy if I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
“Yeah really.”
uh huh…
@rjkofnovi Have you heard of Theodore Hesburgh?
In the obits.
Hi guys…August 2nd today so I am late…not sure if the originator of this thread picked BC but if you did, I think you made the best choice because of where it sounds like you want to live (and also because it sounds like you love BC all for great reasons!). BC Alum in the Northeast (not sure about Europe) are huge and probably on par with ND. ND definitely has a huge Chicago connection but doesn’t sound like that interests you. I think the big difference between BC and ND (for the record, BC School of Business admission stats this past year are incredibly high and I’m sure would rival ND’s, I think the acceptance rate was 18%) is the fact that ND is more religious and conservative. Both Catholic, yes, but I think BC being Jesuit and near Boston make it more liberal, both religiously and politically. I went to BC myself way back and my daughter is a rising freshman there this year. She chose BC over direct admit to Ross School of Business at Michigan and Marshall School of Business at USC because it truly offers her everything she is looking for and because she also wants to stay in NY or Boston (we live in NJ) and the BC alum connection is probably on par with or even better than Ross or Marshall in the Northeast…most people tell us it is stronger and we have asked A LOT of people. With that said, I have a rising HS Junior who is also interested in business like her sister and we will be going to checkout ND this year because we do hear it is also an amazing place…my gut is it might be too conservative for her but that is a personal choice she will have to make. She will have a good chance at getting into both, so hopefully the decision will be hers to make.
Let us know what you decided and good luck…and I agree with those posters that said you really cannot go wrong with either choice!!
By the way, my daughter that is going to BC in the fall did not apply to ND even though she was going to. In the end she decided she wanted to be near a city and also thought ND was too conservative for her, based on what she heard about it.
