<p>UChicago and Harvard grad here. Have noticed that the Princeton folk have been very prickly of late about their school’s prestige on this and on other threads. They seem to be particularly angered by partisans of Columbia (more selective than Princeton at this time) and UChicago (because it is “on the move”). The vitriol suggests a certain creeping insecurity on the part of Princetonians. Because, really, if you are that INARGUABLY superior, why bother to argue?</p>
