There's no metric that completely encapsulates how hard it is to gain entrance to a school. Acceptance rates and school rankings are a good place to start though. You just say nope Auburn's harder to get into without offering any support.

Since you want to continue, let's break it down

Let me ask you this, what is the main criteria schools used to decide to admit a perspective student? Is it stats, like gpa, test scores, class rank, etc...? Seems like the best metric and one that defines how hard it is to me

Acceptance rates


What "hardness" does acceptance rate judge upon? Number of applications? So in this case the skill involved here is filling out an application. I'm not sure about you, but it wasn't that hard

I'm not even going to touch this one, but do you think school ranking such as us news rank hardness to get in, with what you are stating?

I pointed out the obvious fallacy of the argument, with examples, I guess you glanced over that
