<p>Based on whatever criteria they used, Brown is the 4th hardest college to get into. Surely, if you've been admitted to Princeton/Yale/etc., you realize that these schools are now pretty equal in terms of competitiveness. Admission into one should not leave you expecting admission to another, just as admission to Harvard should not leave you thinking you'll get into Princeton for sure.</p>
