<p>Ten up on Michigan, 14 ahead of Harvard and double Princeton’s total. That’s not on par, that’s in a different category.</p>
<p>Notre Dame is a top 20 school overall! And lest you think it is not up to par, son’s personal experience came last summer after freshman year. He landed an internship with a local computer software company. The President of the company asked him several times if knew of any other ND students he could hire. All of the hires he had done with regard to students had been from our state Uni. The rest of the interns were all juniors and seniors. Son felt like the Notre Dame name sure went a long way last summer!</p>
