Why would it be funny if it’s the truth? Personally I don’t see how the Ivies sustain the top spots on their rankings. MIT and Cal Tech are, in my guileless opinion, much better institutions in innovation and rigorous schedules. You know the system is a farce when alumni from these prestigious institutions are writing extensively on the futility of the system. Of course, I won’t deny how they procured their spot in said institution, but it has been confirmed many times that those colleges suffer from grade inflation, a sense of entitlement because family members have connections, etc. And, for the guy who made the snark remark about UT deluding themselves in terms of their prestige - get real. UT excels in many of the fields it is graded on, such as engineering, and yes, our law school is the Yale of the south. #15! Not even some higher ranked colleges have obtained that individual standing.
