Based on the acceptance rates of the respective institutes it can be said that Cornell is slightly easier to get into as compared to Stanford.

Though securing admissions to both institutions is not an easy ask, Cornell with an acceptance rate of 7.8% is a bit less selective at picking students than Stanford that has an acceptance rate almost half that of Cornell, 3.9%.

There's not much of a difference between securing a seat at either Harvard or Stanford with both universities having acceptance rates in the range of 3-4%. Candidates must satisfy the respective admission criteria & submit all mandatory documents as part of applications on time to have a better chance of admission.
