<p>I know that college admission to these top unis is usually random, but in general which one is easiest to get into, even if it is by a small margin. Please rank them in order from hardest to easiest.</p>

<p>Caltech
Harvard
Princeton
MIT
Stanford</p>

<p>MIT
Harvard
Princeton
Stanford
Caltech</p>

<p>Going by the US news (selectivity rating):
Harvard (1)
MIT (2)
Caltech (4)
Princeton (4)
Stanford (8)</p>

<p>From looking at the list of acceptances, it seems that most people who apply to HPSMC gets accepted to Caltech, where the other 4 universities show more of a random pattern. Does this make Caltech the easiest to get acceptance to?</p>

<p>You can't draw such a conclusion. Remember that applicants to Caltech are generally self-selected. The institution is not that well known among people who are not truly dedicated to their academics and extracurriculars.</p>
