I find it quite interesting how responders try to inject subtility through adjectives such as excellent, very good, good, or wonderful! A subtility easily belied by … reality.

The greatest attribute of the consortium is that every one of its schools gains from the presence of the other schools. There is no overall “best” in the consortium. Each school has a number of departments that enjoy superior and dedicated resources. The level of faculty commitment is variable among the individual departments as it makes no sense for each school to seek a leading position. The consortium also used to have a wider range in the selectivity of applicants. This has become a lot narrower in the past 5 years.
