[quote=Anonymous]Consider that many (maybe half, or more) Ivy kids have just ordinary careers. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that, but it kinda suggests that not everyone there is the rockstar they profess to be. Sure, they’re very intelligent, but so are kids from many other schools (just look at average SATs). Also, subtract out the smart kids who are already wealthy and connected, snd who will parlay those connections to further riches. Note that these successes are not because of the school or the school’s connections. I’m not saying that the Ivies aren’t great, but for many, they’re less of a golden ticket than imagined. [/quote]
