[quote=Anonymous]I liken top schools to top VC funds. Places like Sequoia have a much better track record than most other VCs even though most of Sequoia’s investments are failures. Just so happens they have more home runs and grand slams than the average VC fund to more than compensate for 70% of their investments going to zero or near zero. The elite schools attract kids hoping to hit a home run or a grand slam, even though 70% don’t have the drive or understanding of how to leverage what the school offers. They won’t be homeless, but they will end up in everyday jobs/careers.[/quote]
