The “WashU trap” is usually referring to the fact that they make a significant to boost their US News rankings, making them look much better than they actually are, but it has been successful in boosting applications. However, US news rankings still can’t really make a school better (aside from the applicant pool). Therefore, they are pretty selective but still not as good of an educational institution as Michigan.
