<p>As you can see from my name, I live in Chicago and Washu was clearly my choice before Northwestern, U of Chicago and Notre Dame. They don’t need to lie to get applicants. They are clearly the Ivy League school of the Midwest.</p>
<p>If you decide to go elsewhere so be it. They will get enough applicants to take the slot you don’t apply for. By the way, before you bash them, take a tour of the campus and then report back.</p>
