He was in this one large class and on the day for the finals test , he heard in the room all this ooing and ahhing going on and in walks Jack Ham and Franco Harris. He said they were done w/ the test before he was and he had answers from previous years test from the Skull house of which he belonged
ND grads are very arrogant. The academic rigor at ND is well below Purdue. I know because I taught a class there for a semester. ND sells itself to prospective students by stressing the ND Alumni Society network for finding jobs. In that, they are very successful. ND games the USN&WR algorithm well so they get a high score and thus rank well. But to maintain that they are a high-level academic place is just not true.
Reading comprehension may be an issue, but they were clearly being compared due to their alumni bases and the benefit they provide to students at those institutions. The impact of their alumni bases is very comparable.
Well played, post an ignorant comment and then come back with insults when you're called out on it. Sorry Notre Dame's alumni base is not 'one of the richest and most successful'. Probably top 20 but nowhere in the same league as Stanford.
PS - my original post wasn't even criticizing your comment, just stating in general that Notre Dame is not an elite institution, at least not in the same way that Stanford, Harvard, U of C, Princeton, etc. are and is in fact much closer to UM, Purdue, etc. than it is to those schools.
Damn, reading comprehension really is an issue. I never said notre dame’s alumni base is one of the richest and most successful. I said Stanford’s is, which you apparently agree with. Sounds like you’re the one making ignorant comments and coming back with insults now.
PS- my comment was also not saying ND was an elite institution. It was just mentioning that one of their biggest draws is their alumni base. Since you agree that they aren’t as academically rigorous, I guess you’d agree that the alumni access is more valuable for them than the diploma itself.
Again with the insults, well done. Sorry, I thought that you'd posted that Stanford and Notre Dame were 'clearly being compared due to their alumni bases and the benefit they provide to students at those institutions. The impact of their alumni bases is very comparable.'
Yes, I know that you said that it's Stanford's alumni base that is 'one of the richest and most successful'. You then said that the impact of the two alumni bases is 'very comparable'. What am I missing?
PS - although I find your insults annoying and boorish, I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm honestly not following your line of thought.

I thought he has us as his finalist. And he was friends with Furst and Ivey on Team USA. I wonder if he would transfer and considers Purdue. But then where will he fit?
One guy who doesn't pick us was Jameel Brown of PSU. Seeing him collecting 2 trillions while Braden Smith played like a 5-star PG, I'm thankful that Brown decommitted.
Are you kidding me? I know several Pharmacists. I used to study with them. Got to see what they were studying. That program is as hard as any program at Purdue. A lot of programs at Purdue are difficult in their own way.
I'll share a humorous Notre Dame story. At one time I was married to a woman from the Elkhart area, and I used to use the Notre Dame library over Winter Break at Wisconsin. One time I went to use a copy machine and discovered that the previous user had left his GRE (Graduate Records Examination) report in the copier. His scores were most impressive - virtually perfect across all three areas. On the other hand, he didn't have the presence of mind to take the original form once he'd made his copies.
I don’t like BNI. I think he’s a racist….
But that said, you e only ever been what you described him as to me…
I don't even know who you are, I don't recall your profile name, so I am definitely not trying to troll you on purpose. Ill try not to in the future.
I took the more difficult path and went with the Underwater program. I'll tell you, the final in snorkeling gear just about killed me.
As a Hammond Bishop Noll grad as well, I am not surprised at your outstanding GPA. Lol
I took up space, then thought I'd become a soothsayer but I couldn't see a future in it.
I came to Purdue from out of state (I grew up in the Atlanta area). I would say that both schools offer equally competitive educations, depending on the field you are pursuing. In terms of reputation and alumni reach, my guess is that Stanford may be stronger in some areas (especially with its more direct access to Silicon Valley).
This is a bit trite, but really, it depends on how the individual uses the networks and opportunities that are offered at either of these two schools.

To a different player… Jalen Washington looked good last night at UVA after Bacot left with an early injury. He had more mobility than I expected coming off his knee injuries. He had 12 points in the first half but only 1 in the second. He was playing the 5 which I thought he didn’t want. He probably would have redshirted here similar to Berg. The signature win by IU against UNC is not looking as good. They will be gearing up for us again.
I will preface this by saying the rules may have changed now.
But when I was in academia- HS and then college (Purdue 98') my father was a VP in Schleman and new alot about admissions at Purdue and many other universities. Stanford, while an excellent school, was also an 'inflated' school academically- which gave it more prestige than it deserved in his opinion, and mine. One of the main reasons: undergraduate students could drop a class with NO penalty at any time in the semester. You could take a class, be failing it going into Finals week, then drop the class. No effect on GPA.
According to my dad, a number of Cali schools had similar policies in a effort to keep student GPAs inflated. I do not know if that practice is still in place- but frankly that is disappointing to me. You could never do that at Purdue when I was there. You could drop the class within the first 4 weeks I believe without penalty- after that- you are stuck.
Needless to say- I've never been impressed with California Universities after hearing academic stories from my dad like that! I will now return to yelling at clouds.
