<p>The question isn’t: what do Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Harvard, Yale and Princeton have that Chicago doesn’t have… they are all outstanding institutions with somewhat different flavors, and rankings need to be taken with a large grain of salt. Obviously, Stanford and MIT are not patently inferior to HYP, WSA or Chicago, although we all have our biases ;). Still it is always edifying to have one’s current institution or alma mater be thus recognized.</p>
