<p>Blah midwest pride - don’t use “average american” as your metric. If that was the case, there are maybe 5-6 schools that would be “strong” (harvard, stanford, MIT, etc.). </p>

<p>Many americans haven’t heard of UChicago, UPenn, Williams, Amherst, etc. etc. - and these are all great schools. </p>

<p>Just because someone hasn’t heard of a school or doesn’t think the school has “much” of a reputation might not equate to reality, and there’s no reason to be misled by it, especially in today’s internet era where information is at your fingertips. </p>

<p>Be better than that.</p>

<p>You’re over-generalizing. You could make the same erroneous argument for other schools as well, but, for most folks at even the top institutions, “shamelessly strutting [prestige] around” is not the goal. </p>

<p>What you say about UChicago can be a slight to many, many top schools, and your argument is largely unfounded. Some people may look to “soak in prestige,” but many do not.</p>
