“because the student body isn’t quite as smart, it seems harder.”

Riiiiiiiight. Because a 100-point difference in SAT scores means it isn’t as smart. Or because the acceptance rate isn’t 10%. Or because you don’t need to be a national winner of a competition, etc. to get in.

Really, the average student at Harvard is going to be as smart as the average student at Cornell, or Northwestern, or Berkeley, or Vanderbilt. You’re splitting hairs if you try to say that “student body X is student body Y because of statistics Z.” It’s really pointless.
