I didn't write "UVA = overrated", but I would say UVA can be an obsession with people on this board, yet attending UVA doesn't appear to confer significant lifetime advantages over schools that aren't an obsession.

WashU, Emory, and Vanderbilt all played "game the USNWR rankings" and came out ahead, though overrated.

The Colleges that Change Lives schools are treated as the second coming on DCUM, but CTCL seems like a trope to placate parents' anxieties about the admissions process.

Chicago, Tulane, Northeastern . . . the list of colleges that have "played the game" is very long.

Chicago is a perfect example. Think we can add Northwestern and Wake Forest to the list? Isn't Tulane is a party school?
