Which Ivy League is the hardest to get into?

Hey guys, I've been doing some research on the Ivy League schools and I was wondering, which of them is considered the hardest to get into? I know it's not all about prestige, but I'm just curious what you all think.

While it's true that all Ivy League schools are highly competitive, historically, Harvard and Princeton have been considered the most difficult to get into in terms of acceptance rates. Harvard typically has an acceptance rate around 3-5%, while Princeton falls in a similar range.

However, it's important to remember that acceptance rates aren't the only factor determining how difficult it is to gain admission to a particular school. The strength of your application, fit with the school's culture, and your demonstrated interest in attending can all influence your chances of acceptance. So, don't focus solely on the acceptance rates, but rather on finding the best match for your goals, interests, and personality.
