Choose Notre Dame. Much much much more importantly than that, you have a LOT of time to think about career stuff DO NOT DO IT NOW get to a good school make good friends keep your GPA up if you go to a good school (esp ND between the two of those) you won’t have any trouble breaking into IB
I’ve cut my decisions to ND or BC now, it’s just so tough to see where I’d fit in better lol
I was BC, brother ND. Both are completely equal in terms of placements. I worked at GS. Go where you like the atmosphere better
You should pick based on what’s a better fit, but in terms of recruitment alone, ND shits on BC and Middlebury.
Really? Middlebury is tiny but they have a lot of higher ups and BC seems to place pretty well. ND mainly places into Chicago right (not that that’s a bad thing but BC and MB seem to go to NYC)
You will NOT have a problem getting into IB from Middlebury. Everyone I know who had put in a drop of effort has made it. I’ve definitely seen more Middlebury than BC around the top firms.
Question is, do you want to go to a Catholic school or crunchy liberal arts? Do you want to be in a rural setting?
I honestly wouldn’t mind either, but I’d prefer the less outdoorsy ness of BC.
