Re: Notre Dame, GW, WashU
Most people say ND because of its alumni network. But this is only heresay coming from me. All schools really seem about the same in terms of prestige. The ususal response is that WUSTL and GW are more tied to their geographic regions.

Wustl's career placement data is on its CSO webpage. 24% or so St. Louis, 20% Chicago, 16% NYC area, then DC, and then the rest all over. It's national for sure.
65% of GW students stay in DC.
I don't know anything about Notre Dame.

I am coming back from WUSTL's Admitted Student Weekend. I am now seriously considering turning UVA down for WUSTL, so my advice to you would be clear.

Re: Notre Dame, GW, WashU
Having been accepted to both and visited and considered both last year, I don't understand anyone chosing WUSTL over ND. And I got offered a lot more money from WUSTL. Reputation, portability, facilities, atmosphere - WUSTL was nice, but it wasn't close. Maybe its because I grew up in CA and WUSTL is an unknown there.

Re: Notre Dame, GW, WashU
Wash U's new 2009 career statistics (although they are still developing) are starting to come in now.
As of 2009, Wash U no longer places a majority of its graduates in the Midwest. Only 42% of the class of 2009 placed in the Midwest, and the remaining 58% went all over. Also, the new incredible CSO dean, Spivey, got 51 NEW employers, including the CIA (which traditionally only hire at the top 10 schools) and Cravath, Sullivan & Cromwell. All of this is especially significant given the state of the economy and given that self-selection accounts for at least some of the 42% that remain in the Midwest. Wash U is definitely a national school now.
Highest: $170,000
75th%: $160,000
Median Private: I believe it was $152,000?
