<p>I think it's because these are the safety schools for people applying to schools like Cornell, Columbia, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Michigan–Ann Arbor, Washington University in St. Louis ("Students that applied here may also have applied to" USNEWS) and other top engineering programs, so basically they have a very qualified applicant pool. Also they look for many different kinds of people (many many criteria), you will find 2100+ SATs getting rejected and 1780s getting in.</p>
