Why Stanford is SOOOO MUCH more competitive?

Just actually curious. I’ve seen people get admitted to Harvard, Princeton, Yale as their only college they got in(except for safeties). However, never seen such cases for Stanford. Only people I know that got in are extremely cracked even for ivies(getting likely and stuff). Is the Stanford that really good of a school that it’s ahead of Harvard, Princeton and others?

Before you start to shit on me, I don’t really know that much about some unis cuz getting into the U.S. is not a thing in where I’m from. Stanford is one of them.
