It is difficult for me to believe UGA has a 40% acceptance rate. I don't know how this is calculated, but this is difficult for me to believe. Even back in the 90's when UGA was considered a shite school, most people who applied were denied. The standards have only gotten higher since then. I'm not saying we're Vanderbilt, but 40% is off.

UGA is right at 40% (I double-checked it) and schools with 30-45% acceptance rates are considered very selective (also Texas, UF). Acceptance rates, however, aren't the only criteria to look at when considering how tough a school is academically.
Those accepted at Georgia have taken advanced level courses and have a minimum 4.0 GPA. UGA is a very tough school. Although Florida and Texas have slightly lower acceptance rates, all 3 schools are generally the same academic-wise.
Schools like Stanford, UCLA, USC, Vanderbilt, Duke, etc., are considered most or extremely selective. Then again, most schools like these are private, not public.
EDIT: Comparing Big 10 schools....
Ohio State - 57%
Michigan - 23% (very tough school)
Wisconsin - 53% (very tough school)
Purdue - 57% (great engineering school)
Minnesota - 70%
Penn State - 76%
Iowa - 83%
Nebraska - 78%
Indiana - 78%
Illinois - 62%
Michigan State - 76%

They’re all off or students are not even applying because they don’t have a shot. Even 10 years ago you would need to be in the top 20% of your class at an average public school or have a good ACT score (28+) to get into the flag ship state school.
