^ False.

Berkeley is harder to get into than Cornell, in general. Again, in general. Berkeley eng’g is harder to get into than Cornell Eng’g. If you’re not a top student in HS, you’re not gonna make it into Berkeley. That’s the just the first screening process at Berkeley, which isn’t a “rule of thumb” at Cornell and some Ivies. Cornell, on the other hand, accepts applicants who belong to the lower 30% of their HS class. But I’d imagine Cornell would be harder to get into than UCLA. It’s more like Berkeley > Cornell > UCLA, in terms of selectivity.

Check out the stats for the 3 schools so you’d know what I’m talking about.
