[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Most prestigious Midwest LAC” is just not a meaningful/consequential category in the real world. [/quote] TIL that the Midwest is not the real world. Seriously, the Midwest has prestige preferences just like every other section of the country. Grinnell or Carleton or Knox or Kenyon or Oberlin have more name recognition in Chicago or Minneapolis or St Louis than a school like Bowdoin, even though Bowdoin is higher ranking nationally. Regional preference matters. Similarly, UVa is more prestigious in DC than Washington University in St. Louis, but WUSTL is is more prestigious in the Midwest than UVa, even though they are very similar schools, with very similar student bodies.
