I think any parent who loves their child would want them to go to Notre Dame over UGA. It's a no-brainer.
And I can understand this, too. Whether it is true or not Notre Dame is PERCEIVED to be a MUCH better school. But for the sake of argument, let's say Georgia is the better school....perception is more powerful than actuality in many cases. If you see someone with a degree from Notre Dame, you typically are more impressed. How much in the grand scheme of things does the degree from a particular university help or hurt? I don't know.

Everyone knows Georgia is an incredible university, from undergraduate studies to graduate studies.
It's just that Notre Dame is a famous university where you're more than just a graduate. You're a member of an exclusive club.
Let's assume Notre Dame and UGA are equal. Try this comparison. Your son or daughter is applying to business school and gets accepted into Cal Berkeley and Harvard. Very little separates the schools academically. Which one would you want your child to pick? For me, it would be Harvard. U.S. Presidents, Senators, Fortune 500 CEO's, are what make up their alumni base.
It's the brand associated with the name. It's more than a school. It's an institution.
Notre Dame has that kind of brand. Not to the same degree as Harvard, but it does have it.
