Do you spend like six hours studying after school and eleven hours in weekends for several years? Then it is comparable :)

I'm sure it's a similar regimen to get into Stanford, except that time is spent towards research and other extracurriculars in addition to SAT prep.

It's not even close... it's... soooooo much more intense, and social/professional consequences are quite a bit more impactful.
