The parental and student obsession with getting into an "elite" university is one of the biggest wastes of time and resources out there. I have 2 degrees from average universities and 1 from a more elite one. The status of the university meant and still means nothing in my 30 year career, and I am sure I am not the only one. Stop the madness.

Maybe. I wanted to go to U of Chicago. No particular reason except it was the tops where I was raised. Alas, couldn't afford it.
