Georgetown gets lower acceptance rate and seems more selective because it is a “safety school” for east coast kids who want to go Ivy League schools. Students who apply to Notre Dame really want to go to Notre Dame. This conclusion is supported by the YIELD - which is the percentage of the number of students who decide to to the school over the total number of students accepted by the school. Notre Dame’s YIELD is much much higher than Georgetown’s.
I’m from the east coast, and all my friends who wanted to go to Ivy schools applied to Georgetown as backup.
Again, both are terrific schools!
