The "new league"

<p>Eh, although there might be some truth to the “Ivy Should-be’s” section, I don’t think a satirical Wiki edited by Columbia students (I highly doubt any staff was involved with this) is proof that UChicago’s status as an “Ivy Should be” is becoming more accepted in the public. Either way, even though UChicago might actually surpass some of the Ivies in academic measures (though I suspect that the gap is smaller than some might claim), I don’t think it’s worth our time or energy to prove this or let it be known to the public. The more people affiliated to non-Ivy top schools obsess over “surpassing” the Ivy league, the more the league’s image as the absolute top schools in the nation (a group which they are part of, no doubt) becomes entrenched. This is a trend I’ve seen here sometimes, as well as in the boards of other top schools, and it saddens me a bit. I personally don’t care about UChicago’s reputation as long as grad schools and professionals are aware of its educational quality.</p>
