the Ivy League schools were always overrated in terms of academic quality; what people are paying for is access to connections, as these schools are traditionally the schools of the rich and powerful.
That's not anything to sneer at, for connections are what get people ahead in the world, like it or not.
Anyway, the site mentioned in the story is worth looking at. It's better than U.S. News & World Report's annual list of colleges.
Probably more accurate, too, since the magazine tends to overrate the Ivy League and other "selective" schools.
