It sounds like you want to go to Notre Dame (but as FreshPrince said, have you visited both campuses? That’s really important.)

This is one of those scenarios where you know what you want, but everyone else is telling you something else…I know this happens a lot with Harvard and other great schools. “XX is and was my dream school…but I got into Harvard.” They tend to end up going to Harvard because that’s what everyone expects, which is actually why I didn’t apply there (didn’t want to go but knew if I got in the pressure might be too great to decline).

If you have visited both schools, I would go to Notre Dame. As much as I love Penn, you should really go where your instincts are telling you to.
