“In most cases, the top private schools will be easier to get in.”

That’s simply not true.

One cannot definitely say that Berkeley is tougher to get into than Stanford. Stanford’s much higher SAT profile, much lower admittance rate and much smaller class size make it much harder, in-state or out.

Berkeley IS tough to get in, especially out of state. I’m not arguing against that. But it’s not harder than Stanford.
