A fascination with the eight private colleges that comprise the Ivy League spans decades. What is an Ivy League degree worth? For decades, studies have shown that earning a college degree is almost always worthwhile. A recent report by Harvard University-based nonpartisan, nonprofit research group Opportunity Insights found that an Ivy League degree carries even more weight in the workforce and beyond. In the end, they found that attending an Ivy League college has a "statistically insignificant impact" on earnings.

After realizing that strong students were applying to more schools, some colleges started pressuring students to make binding early decision choices. Reading Selingo’s book made me realize the extent to which colleges can game their applicants. It also made me realize how deliberately opaque their decision making is.
