Visit both schools and determine where you feel you fit in best. There isn’t a wrong or bad choice there. I have known students who chose ND over Yale and Harvard, because it was the right environment for them. Since you mentioned that the Catholic aspect was important, make sure you ask about that and visit the resources available. Sometimes on IVY campuses there is a stigma involved with being religious, so you want to make sure you are comfortable with that pressure. Regardless of where you go to school, you will be challenged to grow and mature. The Jesuits have an exercise where, once you have made your decision, you don’t tell anyone for 3 days, and see if you are comfortable with it, and it feels right. You will do well!
