@simba9 In no way are ND and USC peers academically.
First, USC is mostly graduate students. ND is the opposite.
I don’t think you are well informed.
Middle 50% in the ACT at ND is 32-34 with 91% of attending students scoring above 30. At Brown, for example that number is 77%.
I was responding to your comment that both schools are not known for academics. That is simply not true.
