I think it's hilarious! Yeah, it doesn't smack of empirical research, but the college admissions game is a BUSINESS the way that wedding stuff has become. The Princeton Review stuff has gotten bigger every year--my senior year in HS, it was only the "301 Best Colleges." Most savvy seniors, their parents, and counselors know it's not a serious text--kinda like The Southern Belle Handbook, if you will :-p It may be funny, and to some extent informative, but if you try to make it your Bible, you're an idiot.
All said, I'm very proud to have graduated from the #10 Toughest School to Get Into! And #10 for the Happiest Students!
