You’re surprise is warranted, as it’s based on misleading data. The Cornell statistics are based on the School of Engineering (9,481 applications out of a total to Cornell of 37,000). MIT is also all Engineering. Alas the Stanford stats are for entire school.

The whole school stats for Cornell are lower for the SAT than they are at Stanford. No ACT data.

I don’t put too much stock in the USNews rankings, but Stanford is #2 overall for Engineering…Cornell #13. Princeton is #17. It’s a bit like having the worst penthouse overlooking Central Park…but Stanford and MIT are the overall pinnacle.

Individual specialties obviously have different rankings / perceptions.
