Notre Dame vs. Michigan

[goldenboy8784]

<p>Notre Dame admits a stronger and more geographically diverse undergraduate student body than Michigan. It also has more financial resources per capita, smaller class sizes, a better student to faculty ratio, superior advising and a better reputation among graduate schools.</p>

<p>Here are the common data sets between the two schools:

chocoholic, the same can be said of Michigan. Only 3% of classes at Michigan are taught by TAs, virtually all of them 100-level classes. At Notre Dame, 55% of classes have fewer than 20 students compared to 48% at Michigan while 10% of classes have over 50 students, compared to 16% at Michigan. I do not think one needs to look at those criteria while choosing between those two schools. I think campus culture and environment should be the determining factor. And if advising were better at Notre Dame, you would expect a higher percentage of Notre Dame students to enroll into top graduate programs, and yet that is not the case.

I think that’s a pretty noticeable difference in class sizes, wouldn’t you say? A higher pecentage of Notre Dame grads are enrolling into top graduate programs.</p>

<p>My father’s friend graduated from Vandy Med and they publish their “Undergraduate Institutions Represented” online on their admissions site.</p>

<p>There are 21 Notre Dame alums, more than any other school besides Vandy itself, at the medical school as supposed to 2 Michigan grads. Vanderbilt is a top 20 medical school to boot.</p>
