My S went through the same thought process last year. He chose ND and I can say, o/s of the weather, he has never had a second thought. The poster who said ND is tops in reputation for grad school placement was right. If you do research or ask around, you’ll find there’s something about ND that gets a certain type of respect from almost everyone.

He chose ND over ivies because he didn’t want the competitive vibe he said he felt at the other schools.-His feeling, not ours.

On the down side, ND is expensive, pretty white bread and in South Bend. Somehow, though, that doesn’t phase most of the kids as it is an amazing place with a huge student participation and tons to do. If you haven’t done so, check it out with an overnight and visit admission and ask for graduate school placement stats.
Good luck!
