It’s about as hard as its rank would indicate (although it favors SAT less than most).
For my school on Naviance, for people from 2100-2300, 3.6-3.9:

Stanford: 19/101 = 19%
WUSTL: 24/42 = 42%
Vanderbilt: 6/10 = 60%
Notre Dame: 3/7 = 43%
Emory: 7/17 = 41%
Berkeley: 58/133 = 44%
Carnegie Mellon: 13/20 = 65%
Georgetown: 4/25 = 16%
UCLA: 53/130 = 41%
USC: 50/60 = 83%

In-state tuition this year was $8900 + $1400 health insurance
Non-resident tuition was $30,900 + $1400 health insurance
