In reply to: Belibi commits to Stanford posted by Fighting_Artichoke
was last Sunday. My niece was one of 12 ND alums in the graduating class of 190 students - by far the highest number from any undergraduate college, except for Georgetown itself. Also interesting was that the commencement speaker, who was also the only honorary degree recipient, was ND alum Thomas Nasca, who is head of the U.S. medical school accreditation organization.
there in January. Guy saw my jacket and said "I have to ask - are you alums?" He was a soccer player at ND. Great kid. He echoed your sentiment - said there were a lot of Domers in his class (he may have been a 3rd year).
school. 3-10% of ND grads go to medical school and about 9% of our alumni are doctors. Acceptance rate into medical school from ND students is above 85%. There are some that took additional courses and worked relevant health care jobs that were later accepted into med school and are not in the acceptance statistics so in reality it may be 90%.
School of Medicine. Not quite the same thing of course as having a Medical School with a great reputation right there on campus like Stanford. But it right across the street from the Irish Green.
Indiana University School of Medicine—South Bend

Plus, in partnership with Notre Dame, medical students at this campus can pursue combined degrees, including an MD/PhD or MS/MD in Global Health, and take part in research at the Harper Cancer Research Institute and the Eck Center for Global Health.
building is in such a prominent location. Back when I was at ND, I had no clue the program even existed. I think they were somewhere in the psychology building (I can't remember the name. Haggar?).
...this year's salutatorian is attending John Hopkins and the valedictorian, after getting a masters in Spanish, plans to also attend medical school.
This decision seemed to be very data-driven for sure (35 questions to answer about each school). If that's what her research got her to, all power to Fran.
for med school. Let's be honest, though (and temporarily take off our green hats), I'm not going to fault Francesca for choosing Harvard, Princeton, or Stanford over Notre Dame. As you say, good luck to her. It appears Stanford got a very smart and talented player.
We can’t criticize a recruit’s choice of Stanford, of all of our WBB competitors, on the 4-40 year basis. Or Harvard, or, despite its lack of a medical school, Princeton.
School without any Professional Schools. 7 of the 8 have Medical Schools, 5 of the 8 have Law Schools and 3 of the 8 have Dental Schools.
Mainly engineering, architecture and public policy. Princeton has always been focused on being a great undergraduate school, so has been less interested in building its graduate school opportunities.
the separate Princeton Theological Seminary, also AAA/Aaa rated. In essence a grad school. Not part of Princeton University.
For 60 some years was Marquette School of Medicine, so they have close ties. I've had a couple relatives graduate from Marquette and they are proud of their medical connections and training.
when some Private Universities that had both Medical and Dental Schools chose to close their Dental Schools (Georgetown, Emory, Loyola)in favor of their Medical Schools, while Marquette closed it's Medical School and not it's Dental School.
Norhtwestern also used to have a dental school
