Why are schools like harvad and yale so hard to get into?

Harvard, Yale, Stanford and all the Ivies are so hard to get into, because thet get so many qualified applicants. If they have 1,000 slots, and have 5,000 applicants that all have 4.0+ GPA's, all have perfect SAT's and all are Presidents of their class, the school is going to have to eliminate 4,000 students that are over qualified. The more qualified applicants a college recieves, the more selective they become. The value of the name Harvard or Yale alone draws many a student to apply, even if the school does not fit their style of learning.
