Norte Dame is ranked 18th and has an acceptance rate of 12%. Notre Dame is closer to UCLA (ranked 15th, with an acceptance rate of 9%), Michigan (ranked 21) and Texas (ranked 30th) than it is Stanford. And it benefits from all the Catholic high schools promoting students going there. I don't think "it is probably the hardest to recruit for."
Student Athletes have nothing to do with school acceptance rate. Schools like Notre Dame and Stanford don't just recruit athletes to play sports they have to also pursue higher education. Duke is another but they are known more for Basketball.
