I still don't see where you're coming from with Auburn being harder to get into than Bama. Not only is Bama's acceptance rate lower by 20%, but Bama is higher in the rankings that most people look to: USNWR.
So you don't see how acceptance rates don't really mean anything?
Auburns entrance requirements are slightly higher than bama's, thus harder to get into.
I'm not sure you understand what qualifies as harder to get into, as usnwr and acceptance rates have nothing to do with it.
Acceptance rates as a comparison for qualifications or hardness to get into a school is like comparing your golf score on a par 3 and a normal course. Hell, are you trying to say kennesaw state is as hard to get into as bama or florida?

Get more people to apply, deny them, lower acceptance rate. Top Universities did this for years. UM did this as well before they had a big name.

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.

I wasn't aware that Bama had clearly defined cut-off. You sure about that?
