You can’t compare American universities to Romania. A school like Princeton is attracting candidates internationally - if they just used a perfectly objective math exam they would likely have 50,000 applicants with perfect stores, but then what do you do about the students who don’t want to be math majors? These schools are operating on a completely different scale in terms of potential applicants and still only have 3000 seats.
