High school seniors everywhere are on the brink of answering one of life's toughest questions; where am I going to college? As the decision nears kids are flooded with emails and letters explaining why each school is so great.
Notre Dame seems to have no problem generating appeal. In 2012, nearly 17,000 students sent in an application for around 2,000 spots. Here’s a good look into why the University of Notre Dame continues to stay a hot school for high schoolers around the world.
