Struggling to pick a Christian college, which one's the hardest to get into?

Hey guys, so I'm looking for a good Christian College that's really challenging and selective. In your experience, which Christian college would you say is the hardest to get into? How hard is it to get admitted into these colleges?

If you're looking for the most selective Christian colleges, the two schools that come to mind are the College of the Ozarks and the University of Notre Dame.

College of the Ozarks, located in Point Lookout, MO, is a Christian liberal arts college. C of O is a no-tuition college where students work for their education. According to the most recent data, the acceptance rate is about 21%. The most recent data indicates that the middle 50% range for SAT scores was 1105-1280.

University of Notre Dame, located in Notre Dame, IN, is a Baptist-affiliated university and has an acceptance rate of about 13% as of the most recently available date, for the fall of 2023. The middle 50% range for SAT scores for the class of 2025 was 1450-1530.

Though these institutions are religiously affiliated, they, like many Christian institutions, welcome students of all faiths and backgrounds. Both universities consider academic achievement, involvement in extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and personal essays in their admission process. It's also worth noting that both these schools offer a range of majors and have strong academics and community.

Remember that while admission statistics can provide insight into the selectivity of an institution, they don't determine your experience or success at an institution. Make sure to pick the college that aligns best with your academic and personal goals, not just based on its perceived selectivity.
