How do University of Georgia and Notre Dame compare in admissions difficulty?

Notre Dame is usually considered harder to get into than the University of Georgia. Both are competitive universities, but Notre Dame draws from a very national applicant pool, has a more selective private-school admissions process, and is widely seen as a reach for most applicants.

For a student building a college list, Notre Dame belongs in the category where even very strong grades, rigorous courses, and high testing may not make admission likely on their own. It tends to attract applicants with top academic records plus strong extracurricular depth, and its review puts real weight on character, community engagement, and fit with the school’s mission.

UGA fits a somewhat different profile. A strong in-state applicant with solid academics often has a more realistic path there than at Notre Dame, though UGA is far from easy. It still expects a challenging high school curriculum and strong performance, and out-of-state admission can be noticeably tougher than many students assume.

If your question is simply which school is harder to get into, the clearer answer is Notre Dame. On a practical college-list level, many students would treat Notre Dame as the more aspirational option and UGA as the one that may be more attainable, depending especially on residency and academic profile.
