I wanted to apply to this school but then I looked at the tuition cost(which is one of the determining factor) and did not want to bother. I heard it was an good school but I know there is an forum for Notre Dame 2021 COP so perhaps ask everyone who is going there if it is worth the cost. I am in the same boat as you, choosing an school that is expensive and I SAY with an grain of salt, look at the financial cost before anything else. You do not want to take out a lot of loans, especially if you are out of state and have to think about living cost, the loans can add up. Did you get into another school?
