Is the U of C a Worthless Degree?

First off, despite the stupidity of the USNW rankings, you do get some straight resume boost just for going to a college on the top ten. Won’t help as much as HYPSM (at least right now - it’s likely that with increased competition from being on the Common App, there’ll be a bit of a jump in reputation), but it’s still there.

Secondly, I’ve yet to see a forum for any of the HYPSM set that HASN’T been inundated with ■■■■■■, most of them either rejects from whichever college it happens to be, or people who went to one of the other four. It’s entirely possible that UoC getting this kind of attention is a sign of good times to come. XD
