主题：【原创】Ivy plus MIT, CalTech undergraduates -- 虎王2006

另外，好的大学招生是不容易的，比如最顶尖的Caltech, 全校本科生才四千多（这几年不知扩招没）

全校本科生

caltech

938

HYPSM (Stanford and MIT technically not IVY, but considered as "big IVY")

4530-6996

rest of IVY

4459-15043

即使美国优秀孩子，考上理想中的大学也不是那么容易的。exactly

And these two are considered IVY equivalent:

全校本科生

Chicago 6734

Duke 6649

-----------------------------------------

many friends takes it for granted that the top universities in USA cannot be THAT selective, and even thought about CalTech undergraduate total enrollment of 4000ish as being exceptionally low -- well, the exact number is 938. And the 4000-6000 number is the norm of total undergraduate enrollment of "big Ivy".

Cornell is known or considered to be slightly easier to get in, the number 15043 could be the reason.

Appreciated many well intentioned discussions. And each of us might keep within ourselves a rough impression of certain numbers and certain things. The ball park numbers could simple be not correct, even if we are well intentioned and our opinions are not very far off from each other.
