Not really. But I'd bet $100 UChicago cracks the top 3 this year. Has been tied for $4 for several years.

Does the list ever change much?

UVA Alum that I know, but to each his/her own.

What do alums have to do with the college they no longer attend being ranked higher (or lower, if applicable)? Pretty sad to take pride in that.

If UVA slipped in the rankings and fell to #50 would they brag about that, or would they say it was ranked higher when they went there?

See my point.

Old article, but relevant advice:

The topic is misleading. UVA is not in the top 25 if it ever was.

UVA still sucks.
