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?




How did they play the rankings game?

UVA = overrated



please, explain why UVA is overrated?


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.
